You sound pretty angry for someone who apparently reads romance novels.
oh my god dude just chill. I read it when I was twelve and had no problems with it. And ftr that's only a one year, or to some people, a one day difference....
I was reading books that had more inappropriate scenes in year 4/5 and it definitely wasn't for attention- or to act grown up. I understood the books I was reading and enjoyed them- it depends on the kid- if they're reading that sorta stuff they're props more mature than other kids their age.
First of all, not all twelve year olds are the same. For some, this would be too scary and deep but some people just aren't as scared by things like this. It won't cause emotional scarring. And you read books when you are able to comprehend them. Some kids do read books above their level and then they can just reread them. It's probably better to wait until you're a good enough reader to understand it, but a lot of 12 year olds are! Some 12 year olds are better readers than some 13 year olds. Plus, it's their own (and sometimes their parents) decision to read it at face-value and not completely understand it.
You'd be surprised how mature twelve year olds are these days. And besides, is there really that much of a difference between twelve and thirteen?
This book is deep, but don't just assume that because it has so many metaphors and such, that a 12 year old would not understand it. I read this when I was 12 and had no problem with it.
i hate it when people tell me that a particular book is not for my age. and hey, a 12 year old is not in diapers. its only later on when you feel that and not when you are 12. like for heaven's sake this is the 21st century and don't expect 12 year olds to be like innocent babies. they are pretty mature. this book was painful. it was hard to read and i had to will myself to reading it further because it tore me. i did not cry. i was too engrossed to cry. but it was just so painful to read and at a point i just wanted to burn the book. when i read the last word i heaved a sigh of relief. i personally would not recommend this to a 12 year old (i read it when i was 12) simply because i am not sure if they can handle such grief and pain. simply beacause i couldnt. but since i am not the epitome of 12 year olds, i do not know about others. it is a beautiful book and the language is mellifluous. but i believe if someone reads it at a later age, he/she will understand the deeper meaning of the book.
