Hey,

	Don't get me wrong, I loved Dearskin, but I do have to agree with this person.  I was probably 14 when I read it, and it really upset me.  I didn't know the fairy tale it was based, or anything about the story.  The dark mood of the book stuck with me for a long time.  I think maybe a warning would be a good idea, because so many of Robin's books appear to be geared towards young adults that it might end up really upsetting someone (or their parents) who weren't expecting something that tramatic to happen in a McKinley story.
