Title: Why?
Review: With all the different scholastic reading options out there, why is this book still on our kids reading lists? I read it thirty years ago and recently read it again because my kids had too. The language is archaic. The imagery is impossible to grasp. And the subject matter is macabre, not that I have a big issue with that but lets move on already. If it was nonfiction like IN COLD BLOOD then at least I might see some value in it as a human interest story worthy of not forgetting.
