God no, do not put anybody through that.
We had to study the book and watch the movie for GCSE English.
The writing is florid nonsense. The movie is worse: only one professional actor used throughout (the school teacher), and it shows.
Oh, and spoiler alert: the story is you can't have nice things, because even once you've found something nice you enjoy your brother is a dick and will kill it and put it in the bin.
Horrible, horrible, horrible book and film. Awful.
