Hurled. Max was clearly frustrated about the book because he felt that there should be fewer words to explain the same thing that was being portrayed in the book. As he was trying to comprehend what he was reading, he became upset and hurled the book which landed under his bed. Max found the book after calming himself down and regaining his composure and continued reading even though this was his 3rd time reading this book.
