What is the recommended age to read this book? Why? Thanks!

Corey Mature readers only. I would recommend sixteen and up unless you're REALLY mature and ready to handle heavy, heavy topics,

It's about prisoners condemned to death for horrible crimes, including rape of young children. The rape doesn't happen on-screen, but it's still there, and not is not the only mature thing to be handled in this book, but it may be the most mature.
I read it when I was seventeen and was fine, but it's different for everyone.(less)
