My niece who is 13 wanted me to read a book with her this summer. She choose this book, I had never heard of it, but I figured I would give it a try to make her happy. I did not know at the time that her older brother, my nephew had read it and really enjoyed it. Anyway, I read it and enjoyed it a great deal. It is violent and has a little bit of language in it, but it is a quality written book with merit. In my opinion, 13 years old is about the right time for teens and children to begin being introduced to literature. This book is not literature, but it is a great transition for my niece into a book like Animal Farm, 1984 or Brave New World. I do not want her to make the same mistake I did and not read any of these books until she is in college. This book is a page-turner that keeps you engaged. It also allows you to introduce new subjects to teens that they might not have considered before. I found this to be a very rewarding read and would recommend this to parents of other teens.
