I haven't read it, but even the descriptions from Amazon all admit it's
disturbing and violent. I would be interested in knowing others' views
on boundaries (and we all have some) as to what they can comfortably put
on their high school library shelves. For instance, I just finished
reading David Sheff's Beautiful Boy, an excellent book about his son's
methamphetamine addiction, and his son Nic's side of the story, Tweak.
The first I could purchase and recommend; I'm not so sure about Tweak.
Like Christine, I'd be interested in knowing what you think.
