My granddaughter loves to read and I have just received the 5 books in this series - my question is she is 17 - would this be appropriate to send her after I finished - I couldn't find any reviews

I am 19 and read this particular book a few months ago. From my POV, it seems to be pretty normal for a teen (at 17) to read it. Frankly speaking, the TV Show has over played it. In fact, so to speak, I have found that the book has way way less PG and / or Adult content as compared to the show.

The scenes are short and often veiled behind words. Nothing too obvious, if that's something you are worried about!(less)

Rebecca Also, the books are meant to condemn war, while the show audience root for slaughter and gory sex scenes. Misses the entire point of the novels.
