This book is by far the best thing I have read this year. It handles the topic of censorship in such a fantastic way. I know that there are people who truly believe that they are trying to save children when they censor or ban books, but I think that this book will help adults who read it see just how much kids can handle. I think that the discussions within this book will be relevant for many years to come.
A quote at the end of this book struck me: " When you get to death’s door, you regret all the things you could have learned but didn’t. "
