I guess as a sixth grader there was the lure of the “forbidden word” and it appealed to the rebellious instinct of a 12 year old, I thought it was ok. But haven’t read it since, I guess about 43 years ago.
Over the Summer of 1961, while in junior high, but not as any ‘official’ school reading…I think I read some Fitzgerald and some Twain that Summer as well…and bales of science fiction and lots of history….
Didn’t like it and still think its over rated

I read it in 8th grade—when it first came out and loved it!
