I read it in that era of my life, and I still disliked it more or less because it was a whiny entitled kid doing nothing! It really seemed like a canned Madison Avenue product designed to appeal to teenagers.
Come to think if it, the only things I remembered enjoying in my forced high school reading was Macbeth and Tale of Two Cities.
One thing I did really like from that era which I suspect wouldn't age well if I tried it now for the first time was Dune.
