I bought the Greek version because it was more readily available (I had to order the english one) and because I heard that it is easier to read for us.

I started reading it in the Summer when I was thirteen and finished just before the movie came out in December.
By contrast, I also read Asimov's Foundation series that summer, about a book a week.
Use my reading group to help you along.
