Andrew asked this question about Midnight’s Children:

Appropriate for a 15-year-old? How much sexual content/violence?

Nirjhor Barua It would be fine. If the 15 year old has patience, he or she can.

I was 16, I think, when I read it. But beware, it is dense, long and hard to crack.

15 year olds have already been exposed to enough sex and violence, this book has nothing that would surprise a 15 year old, except incest-hinting of-course. (less)
