My first comment on this book read: "So far I am really captivated by this book, which is interesting because I didn't really expect to like it so much..."
This feeling lasted for the entire book. The writing style pulled me in so much that the story didn't even matter, although it is really cool as well. Kidder basically shadowed a fifth grade class in a poor, rundown, public school for an entire school year and wrote about the experience.
