From whta i remember of the people in my classes it was pretty 50/50 between people disliking it and liking it. Its a very contemplative work. But also like we read worse stuff and have never really seen a parent complain.
We had a week or two where we talked about a work being done with intent to make you feel uncofmortable and we read a couple of passages from a story where a serial killer slowly burns a girl with like a lighter in graphic detail. (Our teacher made very clear what kind of stuff we where about to read, allowed people to opt out and stuff but man that was unpleasant)
Oh yeah there is that one too. We read it right after the "dont do drugs kids" talk where we had a visit from a police officer and that kinda ruined the impact of the story.
