Maybe it is just because I'm not enough of a geek to understand that book but I thought it was one of the worst books I have ever read. I couldn't go on to finish it.

When I was younger (Middle School I think) I read a book called Don't Look Behind You. It was about the witness protection program and it was really good. Apparently some other people though it was good too because they went on to make a movie out of it.

For books they make you read in school, Catcher in the Rye and Rebecca weren't bad. I didn't like The Great Gatsby at all.

And of course the book Code Name Ginger was really good (how can anyone disagree?), but I didn't get too far in it (I don't spend much time reading books anymore). I just never really finished reading it. I really liked the part about where Dean Kamen flew across the country to install (or was it fix?) some lighting equipment for a show and he worked for so long and hard that he fell asleep under the stage. He woke up when the show was starting and found the lights to be working perfectly.
