I'm convinced that every YA novel Anderson writes is splendidly brutal in a necessary way. (I've read the Octavian books and Feed by him.) I had a fairly decent history education in high school that wasn't trying to cover it up a lot of our sordid past, and it didn't really transmit the pure agonies the past contained for some of our country's ancestors.
