Barbara<br>I and my students loved the book. I teach in a school in Latvia and so English is not their first language. They are in the 11th grade and enjoyed it so much that thay decided to draw a kind of a map the of store as we went along. They drew on the map a picture of what the scene might have looked like at each of the places the characters passed through in the book. They even saw a relationship with today's everyday life and the governments of today. I have my students read a bit about the authors too and that helps them to sometimes understand the writings better. A good example is Metamorphosis by Kafka. Understanding some things about Kafka's life helped a great deal with the story.
