I've never read it but now that you've mentioned it I think I'll read it :D

Go to amazon & check out one of there book reviews.

They should have some reviews of the books.

Cheers,

thats great aqua!

the reason i am asking is that i heard that is is almost unheard of to NOT have read this book if you are asian. for me however, like most of my friends, we were born and raised here in the states and have never heard of it.

i came across it because a school mate of mine who came to the states in his early HS years told me about it. he said he must have read it atleast 10 times not to mention watched the movie 10 tiimes as well.

i guess its an epic of sorts.

i think i will get it
