Query: Don't read if it's not for school!

I had to read this book for language arts class, and in the beginning it was awful. There was almost NO dialogue, which annoyed me...because I like when characters have conversations. The more I got into the book, there was a little more dialogue. The book is so small at only 90 pages, although the pages are fairly long...but still, it was a short book. In my opinion, I would NEVER recommend this book, unless you HAD to read it for school. It did not end at all how I expected, and the ending quite frankly upset me. It seemed like a waste. Sorry, but I really didn't enjoy "The Pearl" by John Steinbeck.
