I haven't read it, but will. I abhor censorship. I hate what facebook is doing with pics of men getting censored but not women. Goodreads was doing it also. There is a double standard on both - pics of nude women okay - pics of nude or semi-nude men not okay. I censor me and let you censor you. I love how Leafmarks has a banned book badge if you read books that have been banned anytime, anywhere. I am proud of that badge.
I loved that book. I don't get the censorship.
