I did?
I didn't even mention him hanging the kitten or burning the first girls body.
I actually don't think its a bad thing to read it in highschool but I can understand why some parents wouldn't want it included, and I can think of several english teachers I had who would be completely unable to handle discussing such a book in class.

Also, I didn't say they were poor books, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over them not being in the public library.
