while I was searching for good material for my project brief 4, I came across this video of John Green explaining his book was listed as number one in “2015 top ten most challenged books”. I was quite surprised that book was put into that category. Personally biased I’ve read the book and find the explicit material to be, inexplicit at all. As mentioned by Green, the sexual reference was only a few number of pages and it wasn’t a sexual act itself. Yes the book talks about using drugs, but the whole story is about this guy came into using these drugs, not how he felt while he was under drugs (I personally don’t like Alaska because she kinda ruined the protagonist’s life). The story is taken out of context, and it shouldn’t have to be if you actually read the book. What’s your opinion on that?
