I read this in early middle school. Unlike all the other young adult books that were recommended for me or classics assigned to me, this book was easy and light. It didn't contain any heavy topics like drug abuse or kidnapping. It was just a fun little romance story. I really enjoyed that wasn't teaching me about some big issue, that it was short and easy to read, and that it was about shy people, because I was shy, but interested in romance.
This was an enjoyable read. It had many apects of (and in my opinion is better than) The Lord of the Flies. It also had some good commentary on WWII Japan, and what the atmosphere of the country was like furing those times.
