Would have given 5 stars if the book wasn't infested with the word "r*t*rd" and its derivatives.
Minor: Ableism and Racial slurs
The N-word is mentioned, once said by a black character, and then repeated by a white character. It makes sense in the context of the plot but that's really no excuse. The word "r*t*rd*ed" is sprinkled through these pages like a child would "sprinkle" glitter on an art project.
