For a young person, the violence needs to be evaluated individually and accompanied with thoughtful discussion with a trusted and sensitive adult. I would not assign this to a whole classroom, as there is no way to know the psychological state or needs of every student. Images from the descriptions in this book can be psychologically disturbing.
