Is anyone else new to this book? I finally got around to it, I'm halfway through, and I love it. Anyone else reading it? Already read it?

Richard Cadot I'm reading it for the third time... First time I was 12, then I was in my twenties and I am now 55. The best utopia novel of the 20th century.…moreI'm reading it for the third time...

Is this a suitable read for a young adult... 12 year old boy??

CM NO.

Before I read it, I thought "How bad could the rape scene be?". Well, besides the rape itself it was horrible because it told the reader that it's …moreNO.

Before I read it, I thought "How bad could the rape scene be?". Well, besides the rape itself it was horrible because it told the reader that it's okay to rape because the woman will immediately forgive you and decide to spend the rest of her life with you.

So unless the message you want a 12 year old boy to learn is that it's okay to rape then no, it's not a suitable read for a 12 year old boy. (less)

This is a great novel. I love it. What is your idea?

Behzad Pournaghi No doubt, I read it when I was 14 and I am 48 now and still remember it. Definitely read it again.

I think Netflix has dropped a hint they will make this book into a Netflix Original series? I just watched an episode of Travelers (Sci Fi) on Netflix and in one scene, a teacher passes this book to a student. Netflix has a habit of linking shows this way (in an episode of The OA there is a tv in the background playing Stranger Things, which they were trying to promote at the time The OA first aired).

Behzad Pournaghi Great, hope they do.
