Title: Almost a Lesson
Review: I've read quite a few glowing reviews of this book talking about how it teaches wonderful, if hard, lessons about drug use, and how the main character solves her problems by not aborting her baby (good thing; he wouldn't have got to live his life as a rape baby with the inherent health problems having a meth addict mother while developing as a fetus will cause). But at the end of the book, it seems pretty clear that she hasn't solved her problems. She is still a meth-addict, and she lets us know that it is the only thing that can make her happy. Where is the lesson here? I've read on several websites that this is recommended reading for middle school. Not high school, middle school. I'm all for frank and realistic literature (I'm troubled by the recent publication of the watered down Huck Finn, for instance), but I seem to be missing the positive message in this book.
