I don't like censorship - once it is in a teen section I think you are saying it is mature in content.Bookgeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14346060217763491241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179586336876698637.post-16869037092010901182009-07-14T13:01:19.838-07:002009-07-14T13:01:19.838-07:00I haven't read it yet, but I do have it on my ...I haven't read it yet, but I do have it on my shelf.

I talked to my old Children's Lit teacher who read it through and she said that it was chock full of gang rape scenes and all sorts of other stuff. I guess, it was more unexpected than anything and I can see some poor 12 year old picking this up and some mother calling the public, school, etc library complaining. So, for that reason, I'd say label it adult. If it's elicit and easy to figure out that there's that much sex going on - and rape.. well, I think that's too much to call it YA.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089936646594784828noreply@blogger.com
