The average 13 year old would probably not only struggle to make sense on the themes in this book but the "experiments" discussed are very advanced and have volatile effects for those who would also be tempted to undertake them. A lot of politics, religious and spiritual references as well as unproven human science is mentioned and there is indeed a threat that a 13 year old's mind could become confused. I wouldn't take the risk if they're not ready. (less)
