I can&#8217;t say I agree with that. Maybe that&#8217;s because I do, to some degree, think kids have a tolerance for certain types of grim, even if I don&#8217;t think that all kids &#8220;like a bit of gore.&#8221; Beyond that, though, I&#8217;m not sure how I feel about a musical interpretation of the book.
