I really don't like this book. Nothing about it is good to me. I don't see how all the teenagers I've met seem to worship this book.

All of them actually. Four of his books are widely available.

The only thing worse than people who love this book fervently is people who hate it fervently. If you can't get past the whining and find it boring, it's probably because you have so much of it in your own life.

Oh so this was the exception then?

The cover's awful! Pic related: My edition is far classier.

However, this book is not dreadful is also about the nicest thing I can say about it. Oh, and I liked it when I was young.
