Daisy

Not suitable for my 10 year old
What a horrible book. Sadism, bullying, injustice, violence, cruelty...if these are the things you want your child to focus on then this is the book for you. Wouldn't recommend this for any child. Granted it is well writen but that makes it worse becuse the author really takes you on this disturbing journey. Just awful.
