Bit savage! Most of the books they make you read at school are hated by students - i was one of the luckier ones who liked most of them -hated Dickens though because the teacher (traditional Miss Bailey) wanted you to memorize passages and i was never good at that. Made it hard work but the stories are really good.
A lot of teachers kill Shakespeare but we were lucky to have a Mrs Bradshaw who was a fantastic teacher and brought it alive. :
