I'm aware that this book is forced-fed in school (I had to read it when I was a sophmore in high school). I'd be surprised if schools still recommend this knowing of all the book bans.
Now going back to speaking of the book. This book is actually a good read, even though you may have to read in the mind of a preteen to teen. There are few scenes in which readers may feel uncomfortable, shocked, and tense (probably even get emotional). I, for one, felt all the emotions that I've listed while reading but kept on. Personally, I enjoyed the book, even though I knew what would happen. I also realized that the 1990s version of the film didn't put certain scenes from the book.

There was a part of the book where the hunters were joking and doing certain sexual acts towards the pig/boar that they killed during a hunt. I thought I should mention because readers can see this as inappropriate and find it uncomfortable to read.linnylionheart's review against another edition
