Go to Amazon and click on the book to read through the previewed portion. It doesn't look like it would be graphic, but who knows.
This is a case where some sensitive parent probably told their special snowflake they didn't have to read such pap, and this is the result.
But regardless of whether it's the parent or student, if you're so easily offended, I suggest you stay away from college completely because you're not going to do well being exposed to a myriad of people and lifestyles.
Or go to some small Christian college where everyone thinks like you and such books wouldn't be assigned.
But going to Duke and refusing to do the work before you even move in as a freshman, is arrogance beyond the pale.
Oh, I do apologize. Please continue making judgments about a book you haven't read. That's a perfectly reasonable thing that very intelligent people do constantly. If you have any opinions on movies that you haven't watched or music that you haven't listened to, please feel free to share those as well, I'm sure everyone will be extremely interested in them.
Hm... I don't suppose that could possibly have anything to do with it...
We wished we could have been able to afford that college. Our children went to colleges in the North Carolina system, N. C. State and UNC Charlotte. This young man ended up at UNC Wilmington and who knows where else?? I am puzzled myself?
I wonder how many people have been turned off reading by having to read books on a suggested reading list? I have always preached to let a child read what they want to and they will automatically graduate to the next reading level. I cringe when I hear a teacher or parent tell a child that a book is either too easy or too hard for them.

Hopefully nobody smart enough to get into a school like Duke. These aren't second graders.

Im sure Jesus is so proud of the book.
