I have a 16 year old that I would let read it but not my 15 year old. It all goes back to if the teen themselves are mentally capable of reading and understanding this book. This is a very diverse book with the language and sexual references. All teens are exposed to some of this daily, I understand but some of this goes above and beyond. I recommend that each parent read the book and then make the decision based on their child's personality and maturity. (less)
