In the beginning of the story, I did not like George so much, although I could identify with him. George, along the story, did a lot of mistakes when he lied many times and hurt even himself. Instead of doing nothing and telling everybody he is reading one hundreds books, he could just do this without expecting appreciation. I liked him much more when he changed in the end, and I started to appreciate him as a character.
In my eyes, this story, like all others stories, has a message, that the author wants to pass us(phr.). The message is- work hard, make an effort, and in this way you will succed- it is worth it.
