· What are your thoughts about the book? 

I like the story of this book, because i can relate with the characters in the story. But, at first i've experiencing a hard time when reading the book, so i tried to consult the internet for it, and now i understand the story. I can relate my self to Piggy when I'm in elementary. I'm so fat when I was a kid.
