zoe With all due respect, I truly hope that this dream of yours never comes to fruition anywhere. This seems like it would truly be horrifically traumatic literature for a 13 yr old and if it was not then I would be concerned about their exposure to content of this graphically violent and atrocious nature

Lisa Middle school??? Did you even read the book?
Here is a short summary to refresh your mind:
Rape arson kill white bad, black good rape kill arson cops bad, looters good kill rape arson men bad, women good arson rape kill God Is Change (The End)

Inna This is way too graphic and horrific for middle school. It’s too graphic and horrific for adults. Middle school children 14 and younger are not mature enough for this type of content. I would never ever allow my 13 year old daughter read this. I think it’s adult material, maybe be last couple of years in high school.
