Despite the profanity, I still think this is a good read for HS students, and know several who have liked it. And I won't be rating language in books, simply because what bothers one person may not bother someone else and you always need to discover for yourself what your threshold is. I know when I dislike a book, I put it down and start another. There are just too many books and too little time! Hi Katherine,

I take joy in the summer months in having time to read. This book was a large disappointment. I love this website, and have found many wonderful things to read. This was not one of them. The Crazy School has a very very high level of profanity. At the school where the novel takes place, there is no rule about language except for F***, but the author still includes it. For those who do not want to read sentences filled with profanity, this book is not for you. Reading Rants, maybe you could start rating the language in books? Thanks.
