A Goodreads user asked this question about Greenlights:
I'm a public school librarian on a 9th and 10th grade campus (ages 14-16)...in Texas...and I'm getting lots of requests for this book. Is there anything that stands out that would make it objectionable for that audience? Note: some foul language would not necessarily exclude it, but it would if it were too much or just done for shock value (the reviews don't seem to mention any overly salacious content).

Hi Mellanie,
I'm currently reading this book, in my last chapter but I'm ready to give my best reviews for it.
I don't have kids but I also think that age 14-16 is grown-up enough to read & get some real-life advice, experience, knowledge, and self-motivation for the young generation. I believe that that the language used in this book has nothing extra concerning than our everyday spoken vocabulary.
However, this is my fresh opinion while I read it... I am enjoying and learning a lot from this autobiography.

Best,
Adelina,
