A Book That Was Banned at Some Point
This book of the challenge was just easy. What book hasn't been banned or at least challenged at one point or another? However, I had higher hopes for this book than what it delivered.
Forever by Judy Blume
Summary:
There's a first for everything.
When you build up something in your mind -- really imagine it, wish for it -- sometimes, when it actually happens, it doesn't live up to your expectations.
True love is nothing like that.
Especially not for Katherine and Michael, who can't get enough of each other. Their relationship is unique: sincere, intense, and fun all at the same time. Although they haven't been together all that long, they know it's serious. A whole world opens up as young passion and sexuality bloom.
But it's senior year of high school, and there are big changes ahead. Michael and Katherine are destined for another big "first": a decision. Is this the love of a lifetime, or the very beginning of a lifetime of love?
Review:
Eh, I really expected more from Judy Blume, and I've read plenty of her books in the past. It wasn't bad per-say, but it wasn't exactly engaging either.
As for banned, Texas in it's usual controlling way hated children to learn about sex and love. Here is a very nice post about where any why it was banned and challenged: Censorship & Judy Blume.
