I feel that the book could have had better implications so that it would be able to appropriately explain what happened to the reader. Instead, we got bits and pieces. If it is appropriate enough to write a book on the topic, it is appropriate enough to properly give us enough, more thorough details as to what happened. This is, to Simon's discretion. I liked it, but I would say it was pretty good.

@LiteraryGladiators the implications where to vague? It's a touchy subject so I guess the author could have done age appropriate [in todays] middle grade ...

Simon did make references to what was taking place, but they were in vague snippets. Yes, I believe she could have laid it out better in a way that was age-appropriate, contingent that it was reflective of Simon's character.
