The literary voice (I've listened to it) is just too adult. It's not the other content that people speak of, I just feel there is time for kids to be kids for awhile longer, especially 13 and under. The characters are "old-souls" in my opinion. I've been questioning this the whole time. I've appreciated it, but I have my own coming-of-age experience to draw on. There is a lot going on in this book. (less)
