If you are a fan of comic books, as I used to be, sooner or later you will hear about this book. After I heard about it a certain number of times, I decided to read it. Wertham, a doctor who equated juvenile delinquency with the comic books of the '40s and '50s, was something of an alarmist, but he made some good points. Overall, however, it was pretty goofy, and I wouldn't recommend it unless you are a comics fan.
