- amanda4242: Hated it.Simone2 : One of my best last yearMyFathersDragon: It was one of the classics to choose from to read in a high school class. I read lots of the choices, so I had options to choose from when it was time to write a book report.

- sturlington : Not sure I would call this a classicJalenV: I read it decades ago. That bit about not wanting to admit that Christ was poor rings true because I have a 19th century book on the lives of Saints Joseph, Joachim, and Anne. That book didn't want to talk about Joseph's poverty, but that he was descended from King David.ahef1963 : Hated it twice. My dad loved it so much that I gave it a second try, but still hated it.
