I'm still at school now but in the previous years of High School we read Skellig and Private Peaceful. Now at GCSE level we had to read Great Expectations, which is one of the wost books I have ever read, where we had to do a piece of coursework on it, How I managed to get two A's on it without finishing the book I will never know. We have another piece of coursework to do on Romeo and Juliet, we did a performance on this so it wasent too bad, and for our Litrature exam we have to read Lord of the Flies. Which again is a truly awful book I mean how ful of yourself must you be to write a whole novel based on allegorys. I just don't understand why the GCSE reading list is so bad!
