Wow, the stuff this kid survives...and ultimately manages to thrive in spite of...it's amazing. I have the whole series and think it is absolutely worthwhile. It definitely gives most of us a perspective that we could NEVER have it as bad as this poor kid, and if HE can survive, so can we! I know that the school I teach at requires it for reading in English class. It is a VERY GRAPHIC book, full of violence and situations that will make your stomach turn. But ultimately, it is a book everyone should read.
