![]() Don’t get too caught up in the warnings of bad language, while it IS there- the uses are not glaring. Tell your teen to keep google search ready for some of the items she mentions. The story was interesting enough to keep reading, but stalled out occasionally on overly descriptive paragraphs that didn’t really move the story along, or matter that much to what you really needed to know. ![]() ![]() Finch seemed to be the only one I cared to feel invested in. There is negative judgement placed on both poverty and wealth, which somewhat degrades the characters and makes nearly everyone in the book somewhat petty or shallow. Too hard nosed to be a positive role model. Otherwise, I’m not a fan of Alice, I find her to be selfish rather than strong. Melissa Albert must have one heck of a nose, because I have never read a book that so often described how things smell, most especially when the descriptive words used are items I’m fairly sure a large percentage of teens have never smelled, much less are aware they exist. ![]()
