1-Star Rating

Avoid

We're critics, not censors, and it's not our wish to dictate what you should and shouldn't read.

But here's our honest opinion: these books aren't worth your time. For the most part they're still on our website because they've won awards or are part of curriculum lists, or simply because people continue to ask for them. Below you'll find the reasons why we won't carry these books, and why we recommend you read something else.
