This book 📖 stood out to me because of it's cover and hooked me with the writing on the first page. I popped it open in the book section of Target, thinking, "Oh, its a teenager book. It's conservative."
Well, it isn't conservative. There is ubiquitous use of profanity, colorful metaphors, and adult themes. It is a very real book as some kids live the lifestyle of "in and out drug rehab" described in the book.
That drug and party lifestyle is an indication of a legitimate disease. Anyone suffering from addiction should seek help. I am only 50 odd pages in the book.
While "Survive the Night" is really great writing and I appreciate the author's craft, my students should seek out better influences that inspire them to act and behave for the greatest good.
I will finish the book, but I cannot endorse the book as a read for my students. It should be noted that I teach in very conservative Texas. #read #ethics #positiveinfluence
