I think in my first "thought" post I called the book boring, which I must say it was for the first maybe 2 chapters, at least to me. I did have a hard time getting into it for awhile but we went on a four hour road-trip and I made myself read. Kim definitely picks up after the first chapters. He starts meeting people and going on his journey and the story really starts.
Overall I liked the book, I'm not sure if I will read it again but, I would definitely consider it. I thought it would be one of those lame school books that Id just skimmed through and write a little paper about but, it wasn't. I even started researching it when I wasn't doing homework!
Id definitely suggest reading it because it is a classic and it is very well written. Id also say read it because I think there are a lot of misconceptions about it that you should form opinions on for yourself.
I don't know if I could pick out a favorite part, I just liked how all the characters are so different and written about so well. I loved "meeting" them or reading about Kim meeting them. All the characters are so different and yet Rudyard writes about them so seamlessly that it all flows together and it doesn't sound fake I guess. There are definitely some memorable quotes in the book, as just yesterday I quoted a part of the book to my friend. I think that it would appeal to teenagers specifically because it is a soul-searching, path-finding book.
I had fun with reading Kim and fun with writing this blog.
