I can only imagine how distressing some of the scenes are going to be and I'm not sure I want those images in my head. I feel I should read it - perhaps I'll save it for a bright, sunny day when I'm less likely to get nightmares.

My ninth grade English teacher actually read this ALOUD to the class. I don't know how he got through it. I remember the day he read the hanging scene aloud I just stared out the window, fighting the tears and nausea with everything I had in me. <br /><br />Kudos to you for reviewing this.
