The book you hated in school might hit differently five years from now. Give it another shot later.
CREATIVITY
WHAT THIS MEANS
Books meet you where you are, and at fifteen you may not yet have had the experience this one is about. It arrived with homework attached as well, so the dislike is partly about the circumstances rather than the pages. Five years on, with different things behind you and nobody marking it, the same sentences can land completely differently.
Keep a short list of the ones you hated rather than writing them off for good. Try one again when the mood takes you, with no obligation to finish. If it still does nothing, that is a real verdict now, reached on your own terms.
