I have been reading this to daughter only because she begs me to do so. I think she only begs me to do so because she knows I am not a fan of this book, at all. The main reason for my dislike is that [character] is a terrible role model. We, as readers, are constantly reminded of [character]’s philosophy of vengeance, an eye for an eye, for the people (and there are many) who may have rubbed her the wrong way. This includes her classmates, her brother, her mother, her father, and her principal.
