My Expectations

My expectations for this book are that it will be a good book. I am hoping that it will be one of the books that when you start to read it you don't want to put it down, although i don't know if that is exactly what it will be like. A lot of times when i read a book for school it turns out to be extremely boring. Every time i hope that the book will be good so that i don't end up skipping out on reading it and looking up summary's online, but that rarely happens. Hopefully it will this time.
I have heard that it was a sad book. It's about a boy and his troubled life at home. This is the book that i skimmed through for class and the little bit that i read talked a lot about his father being an alcoholic. Hopefully it should be interesting. It is a pretty long book, one of the longer books that the class is reading so i hope that it is not boring and that i will be able to finish it in time.
