On this issue of reading, 'innocence', and the Teen,
I have often wondered as follows:
1. If someone is too young to understand the subtle and
even possibly corrupting influence of a self-justifying
narrator such as HH, then no corruption will take place.
2. If the same person is old enough to understand 'what
is going on' [nudge, nudge] then they must also have the
capacity to deal with the issues.
No problem in either case.
