Very very very very violent, a lot of death and a lot of times it is more graphic than not, but it's still an amazing book. I would reccommend this to anyone who likes to cry over books, characters who have some psychological issues, really anything violent.

The R slur is constantly used against an autistic child. The narrative treats it as a bad and disgusting, unacceptable thing, but it is still used a lot.
