I know there is a lot of controversy about this book because of the use of the word "scrotum", but honestly, folks, that is not what the book is about. You'd think with so many books filled with violence and other sorts of mayhem, people would have much more to complain about than that word - would they have preferred the vernacular "balls"?
That said, I have mixed feelings about the book. There is nothing wrong with it and it is a decent story, but it isn't really one that will stay with me for a long time. It just isn't that memorable for me. I feel sorry for Lucky and her situation, but I don't really LIKE her enough to be cheering for her in the end like I should be.
