Really liking it so far. I do think it's one of those novels that probably isn't going to be as appreciated by a younger reader. I mean, the writing is fantastic, but the content is aimed at a bit more mature audience.

Just found out I'm the teacher teaching a new Marginalized Voices literature class next semester, so my reading list has just changed dramatically. I would love any suggestions. Maybe I'll start a thread to that extent here in Fiction.
