As this is being promoted as a Young Adult (12-18 year olds) I think there's far too much detail regarding sexual activity, drug use and mental health issues. I do think it is good for young adults to hear about these things but from their parents, not glorified in a book.

The book also gives the impression that life will give you everything you want in life, which isn't always true, this can lead to low self esteem for the young reader.

The description and eye for detail was very good in the book and it is a good retelling of the original classic, I just wish they had of written it more for adults instead of for young adults.

I really liked the cover it was bright and interesting and made me want to read the book.
