Notes for Parents edit
Reading Level: Young AdultsI say young adults, but I really mean between young adults and adults. There has lots of gore including a person's head being shot off, Robert re-cutting open a surgical wound in order to observe his own stomach, and lots of people being shot. Robert also cuts open his arm to look inside his own body twice. In this book, there is casual drug use and other illegalities such as making fake IDs, passports, credit cards, etc. There is one drug dealing incident and a lot of drinking. a lot. In addition, there is kissing and sexual content. I recommend over 15 years of age.
