Complaints: Offensive language, sexual themes
A parent in Plano, Texas, said: The first few words, including 'epic' and 'avocation,' made the novel seem normal, but following words, like 'raunchiest,' 'excruciatingly' and 'subliminally,' are strange words that imply ugly things."
Solonor Says Ban It Because: Imagine the uproar over words like 'rational' and 'educated'!
