Comments from Groups: This book we found, was as relevant as ever. Most were reading it for a second or third time, and got more from it each time... Gisborne 003 This was compulsive reading at school - ugh! After re-reading, we (surprisingly) appreciated the situation and even enjoyed it, although horrifying. Katikati 001 An interesting classic on human behaviour. A bit disturbing for some of us! Timaru 011 We had a really good discussion. Reading the notes before the book would have been helpful. Christchurch 168 We really enjoyed this, as it's such a famous book. We had great discussions from it. Hamilton 035
