Journal Entry 1 by quietorchid from Saint Paul, Minnesota USA on Saturday, March 12, 2016
This is an example of a 'Banned Book.'

Challenged in Michigan in 2007; 2008. Banned in Florida 2010. 'Sexual Content'.
For more information about banned books go to the American Library Association page.

Sad but funny memoir of growing up in the free-wheeling '70s. Two 'sexual content' scenes, both homosexual, and both with the main character at 13 engaged in sex with his first and only friend of 33. And thinking how much he hates it, just wants someone to listen to him, like him, be with him. Yup, the fact that kids can be placed in that situation SHOULD be banned. After all, if we ignore it, it means 'it can't happen here,' right? Burrough is a good writer, honest, funny, and occasionally biting.

Fly far little book!
