It's also a good representation of so many things kids will encounter as they get older. Idol worship / fanaticism / religious cults, fascism and political activism against it. What a perfect book! What a perfect book!!!
Unrelated to the book, whenever I get a new pen I always tested it by writing "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." I find out IMMEDIATELY I've been writing the sentence wrong FOR YEARS!!!!! I know there was a time when I wrote it right! What happened!!!

There are many better books that explore similar themes of totalitarianism, censorship, free speech and the power of language in more captivating and inspirational ways.

I am not the biggest fan of the letter format especially near the end as it does get hard to read (as I imagine it was hard to write).

The R slur is used in casual passing on pg 131 (hardback edition). Most other tags relate to the enforcement and punishments with regard to the illegal letters. Being epistolary, there is a casualness and distance from the actual events described.razorfangz's review against another edition

Ableism and racism tags are due to the use of the R slur and G slur, though they're only used once.leanneymu's review against another edition
