I think it's even more important for younger readers, as it concerns such a volatile and ever-changing period in one's life - and the lessons contained therein might stick a bit better if learnt earlier on.

Too many adults are completely set in their ways, and I'm seeing a lot of gun fans trying to deflect the more important points of this book solely to protect their own interests and/or convictions.

It needs to be read with an open mind and discerning eye. Teens are at that critical point of trying to seek and establish who they are whilst still being open enough to question and adapt.

If you haven't given it a go by now, add one more tally to the 'yes' column. ;)(less)
