Don't Judge a Book By It's Cover

A review of Ian McEwan's novella The Cement Garden

Death? yes. Secrets? yes.

But I know that the cover

Did not say incest.

It's funny to me that a book that I purchased because I thought it might be teachable would be considered by our gifted and talented school board more vile than anything Pat Conroy ever considered writing.

I will, however, continue to peruse McEwan for teachable readings.
