I suggest everyone should read it and schools should examine the storytelling, social and psychological issues it brings to light and of course the plausibility of it all with the younger generation.

However, as this novel trudged on, the main character became increasingly annoying, entitled, and controlling. She believed her 'Earthseed' to be absolute truth, and continued to share it with anyone she could. I didn't like this at all. Then, toward the end, she, a newly eighteen-year-old girl embarks on a romantic and sexual relationship with a fifty-seven-year-old man; a man older than her father. No, this is not talked about much. Characters make some comments on the age gap, but I suppose in apocalypse, 'mature' children and old men make the best of pairs.
Also, it isn't even science fiction. Drugs and mental illness don't count.
