Randy, when asking me if I had read it, referred to it as "That insanely popular book". I was quite surprised, actually, to learn that my roommate Jason (who is VERY well-read and reads a LOT of Christian literature) had never heard of the book before I picked up my copy.

I have, as I mentioned to Monkeyman, read the book - and I actually knew which book he was referring to the first time he mentioned it in this thread, because he told me he was reading it.

But anyway, I didn't like it, and I know that many other high schoolers I've talked to about it didn't either. I think I might still have it lying in my room... yeah, found it. I should give that back to Natalie...

Anyway, I don't have time to read it again now, and I don't really remember exactly what it was about the book that I didn't like. Having just now skimmed over a chapter or two, I've already found a couple things I have problems with. Maybe this post is pointless and deserves to be deleted... but I've found that people who are Older and Wiser often recommend this book, and those of us who "aren't" don't agree with or enjoy it.
