e_joy10's review against another edition

There was too much swearing for me and just the casual talk about drunkenness and alcohol, which was a real shame because I loved the plot!! Would not recommend for younger readers.

There was some sexual content that was I guess a bit too descriptive and just mentioned so casually.
