Also, there's a whole section about the battlefield in France during World War II. I didn't find it boring at all, it was actually pretty interesting and well written.
There's some sexual content and it's a bit graphic but it's not the kind you'd feel disgusted about. It's beautifully written actually.
I guess a mature 15 year-old may as well enjoy it. Totally recommend it.(less)
