Can someone explain why it’s so controversial? I bought it at a yard sale a while back but finally got around to reading it recently (I have a literal mountain of books that need to be read) and it wasn’t bad but I know it was banned at one point in time. Or maybe it’s like when my grandmother told me that Elvis swiveling his hips was scandalous and when I first saw footage of Elvis it seemed tame compared to the rap videos that were out at the time or the early 50s R&B song 60 Minute Man

...All I know is that the fact you got more than a couple chapters in before wanting to reach through the page and strangle the main character puts you above me...
Keep in mind, I'm a person who, if I read more than a paragraph or two into a book and it doesn't grab me, normally I'll put it down because otherwise, I almost have to finish it, itll drive me crazy if i don't, and I couldn't finish the damn thing... I got (maybe) four chapters in,a nd couldn't force myself to read anymore...
It’s hard for me to stop reading a book. I feel like I have to finish if I start it.
ditto, but this one...
