Just flirt with the smart kid and make him do your homework for you. A little rubbing his arm or kiss on the cheek and he'll probably churn out an A paper.

I suggest going to sparknotes to help you out. :/
Except.. don't fully rely on sparknotes.
It's a far better idea to read the book & then use them.
--
I haven't read the novel.. but I would suggest:
Writing about one of the central themes.
I'd probably go with the issue of morality or temptation.
Discuss it as an issue in the novel & to real world issues.
--
Also, when writing about something..
Try to be interested in what you're writing about.
It helps. Reeeally. :]

Just write a reporting saying you hated it but give detailed reasons why you hated it. A book report doesn't have to be inpraise of a book.

Who said you have to praise it? =o
I thought writing book reports were merely to make sure
That there was a clear understanding & interpretation of the book.
And to say you hated it.. would probably only spur more hate.
Which is like saying: This will be a horrible day. [most likely it will be]
Instead of.. this will be an absolutely gorgeous day! [more likely to be]

Exactly my point. Sharlene's post said she didn't know what to write about it because she hates it. My point is that what she thinks about the book shouldn't matter as long as she gives valid reasoning.

*brushes up against your arm and kisses your cheek* Just write this english paper for me, would you babydoll. It would make me ever so happy. And if you do really well on it, I might let some of your friends see you talk to me.
