Someone has suggested my 11th grade daughter read this book with a lit. class, I have never read it. Can anyone give me some insight into this book?

Thanks,

Hi Jeanne,
Here is a pretty detailedsynopsis online
There are some questionable settings and language and a somewhat depressing overall theme, but it is a pretty standard high school title (most every high school lit class uses it at one time or another). It includes dealing with the s_xual ideas of the main character, though he never actually has s_x (he has a prostitute come to his room, but can't "go through with it"). Also, a former teacher whom he looks up to almost makes a s_xual advance on him and send the main character further into thinking the world is impossible.
Is it a lit class at a school? Or just a group of homeschooled people getting together?
