A child would definitely enjoy it as a bedtime story because it's supposed to be a children's book. But in my opinion, this book is deeper than that and requires an adult to really understand its entire meaning and the hidden messages inside it. So yeah, I would recommend it, especially to adults, and especially if you have any inclination that you are not being honest with yourself. (less)
