Also, something the Perfect Author has not done, we get to see the teenage
boy being moody and difficult for the sake of being moody and difficult,
rather than being well behaved and receptive to advice.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> |

Very good, I got alot of the same impressions when I read the book. When
I was done the first thing I thought is 'she is in so much trouble for
this'. Bush, Ashcroft and the others like them have got to hate this
book, it glorifies/encourages student rebellion. Personally I think
that's a good thing, but you can bet that the book will get banned in
some places just for that.

And that came out before the Great American Brain Robbery.
