How the Steel Was Tempered

[Simao]

This is a novel by Nikolai Ostrovsky. I've had the book for a while now but I am hesitated to read it or leave it for other books. If anyone read the novel or liked/hated it please let me know. I don't want to waste time reading a bad novel.
thanks in advance.

I haven't read it yet, but I've heard it's excellent.

I am sorry but I've never heard of it, I am taking the tip though and checking it out.
