Classic Tale
Violence, sex, and a manipulative priest makes this more suitable for 14+. Good book. Religious parents should know that religion is protrayed as dangerous.

- I rate this title off for age 12 and give itMy concerns are:
- Excessive violence
Definetely a good book, but not for little kids. Constant swearing, smoking, and bad role models. Resistance towards teachers is NOT a good role model

Overrated and Badly Written
I had high expectations for this book, none of which were met, and the teen characters were all very two-dimenisional (sp?) and unrealistic, to an extent where I didn't even care what happened to them. Although it started out in a promising way, it quickly went downhill-as in twenty pages later. I would not recommend this to anyone.

it was sweet
The book was amazing. A teenager doing funny things is awesome and it was the best book i have ever read.

Wow..........
This is one of those books, that after you finish it and set it down, you have to sit awhile and think. It leaves you thinking "Wow...." and really has a good message behind all of the bad stuff that the kids do. One kid stood up to everything and everyone. Because he knew that he was right. This is an incredibly well-written novel and is a must-read for any teenager.

everything they don't want you to know
So i read this book when i was 11, and let me tell you, I stopped participating in school funraisers. Sorry. Anyway, this book is probably one of the most interesitng and provocotive I've ever read. However, anyone who challenges it is an idiot. It doesn't deserve that.
