If there is any tool of education which highlights our depraved society, it is this book. I am sure Paul Zindel means well, but his outlook on human life is simplistic at best and cynical at worst. The man clearly believes humanity is a small step above animals, and that our children should be raised to accept their fate in this Ricki Lake world in which we live. This is the sort of book that turns children into sex and relationship obsessed creatures, consumed with nothing but the desire to eat and procreate. It is for those who desire nothing more than to live like cattle, with some improved diversion courtesy other human inventors (ie television). What is even worse is reading the reviews of this book. Wow
