2.0 out of 5 stars for pre-teens only, May 12, 2003
By Megan (Kansas) - See all my reviews
I was made to read this book as a senior in high school, for all high school teachers reading this, please do not make 17 and 18 year olds read this. It is written for 10-13 year olds, and at our level this kind of book makes me cringe with irritation because of the level of writing. I and my peers just finished Hamlet for god's sakes and then we are made to read this. It is a good book for pre-teens, but for all you teachers, please teach this book to the age group it was meant for. I just wanted all teachers to know this. It is good for pre-teens but utterly annoying for higher level readers who read Ayn Rand for fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Made an impression, September 2, 2005
I read this book years ago and still remember the plot clearly. It made quite an impression on me, and the social experiment part of the book was fascinating. The love story is a little overworked and cliched, but on the whole I enjoyed the book when I was a preteen and early teen. I'd like to see this rewritten to a college student level, that would be great.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book to Remember, December 5, 1999
By julie (The U S of A) - See all my reviews
Anyone who reads The War BEtween the Classes will never look at the world the same way again. Even though this book is only at the reading level of 5.4, it has many hidden messages and symbolism. The War BEtween the Classes really shows how racist many people are with or without knowing it.
