Why does that make it best of all poddy?  

I didn't let my children read it in primary school, it was horrific.

It's not primary school reading material. have you read it Donna?

Yes I have read it and it is Primary School reading material.

I just didn't allow it at the time.

Yeah, I didn't agree to it at the time because of that, I was just curious as to why poddy said this:

I didn't let my kids see Harry Potter either when they were little, it was far too scary.

My kids could never sit through Wizard of Oz. My little daughter used to run screaming to bed as soon as the first witch came on. She loves horror movies now lol.

I was scared in the never ending story:)

Best of all because someone documented their life at the time and handed it down so that others may have an tiny inkling of what was happening.
