    So far I think the book is boring. I'm having a hard time getting past the introduction. It's very long and drawn out.

    So far the book is pretty boring I could only read up to like two pages of the fisrt chapter. So far I hate the book and is not a book that I would ever read over and over again

    At first the book was rather boring, especially during the introduction. The chapters are not nearly as bad as the introduction, however I wish it was more engaging throughout the entire story.

    Like everyone else said, I thought the book was very boring in the introduction. I also did not like the chapter where they talked about Clarkston because I didn't feel it was necessary. I actually really like it so far other than those two parts. It's interesting to learn about how the people got there and what they had to go through.

    The book was written as if it was an article and I feel it could have been summed up in a page, instead of dragging out the misery 300 pages.

    to me, the book is a little interesting but not not enough to keep me reading it. i don't know if it gets better or worse but i hope it gets better. so far, its very boring. basically, i don't like it so far at all.

    To me the book seems really boring but then it starts to get just a little exciting when the jets or something fly by in the sky and everyone starts to wonder why.

    The book is boring, but it does definately describe how refugees live today in the United States.

    To say this book is boring is a little harsh. It can seem drawn out at times but the content of the book is good for the genre. The only reason it seems boring is because it tells of things that a person, especially a child, doesn't find entertaining in a story. Overall, I think this book is interesting and I do want to see the outcome of the children and their families.

    Personally, I think the book is rather boring and is just dragged out to make it actual book but it deffanitly could be just one page or two. But the book really isnt intersting enough to keep my attention.

    My perspective of the book would not be persay boring, just some parts don't grab me as much as I would wish. I think as I work through the book it will get more interesting because I do enjoy some parts of the book so far. I also look forward to reading and learning more about the families.

    I think so far the book is a little boring, its not something I'd recommend to someone who likes reading a lot. The introduction was really boring and I couldn't grasp it and understand it clearly. I think as I continue to read the book, I might get a better understanding of it.

    Outcasts United started out really boring because the introduction dragged a bit and the character backround had information that wasn't useful to the story. After the first few chapters it gets better.

    Outcast United is deffiently not something that i enjoy reading. I think the introduction is really boring and im having a hard time keeping track of what is going on because the book doesnt intrest me. Too keep me focased on a book, it has to be good and this book really doesnt do it. Although, it wasnt too bad after the introduction, but i still don't like the book.

  19. This book is very long and dragging on. I think it would be easier if we didn't read it or if we had summaries of it instead. It is a lot to read.

    This book just drags on and on. I don't like it. I do adore learning about the world and it's problems. This book just tore me down.
