This is by far one of the best books I've ever read. I'm a 14 year-old in middle school, and we had to read this in Language Arts as a class together and no student ever had a problem with its mature themes... I could never understand why people want to ban this book from libraries... and as a student this was not 'inappropriate' book to read in class. It was such a good book, I even talked about it with my parents and they were fine with it, it doesn't 'encourage pornography' it just states it as it is, if we never learn about it then we won't be prepared for it if something happens to us and what we should do... I thank my teacher and the author for making us read this book. THANK YOU!
