Chelsea Bradley I read this book as a freshman in high school and I would argue that I was a little too young. I think 18 is probably a safe age, but ideally someone in their early 20's would probably be able to best appreciate the themes and not just the violence.
Rick Although I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as a parent, I have a problem recommending it to my adult boys (29 & 26) as well as the movie. If they found it (either) on their own I could discuss it openly with them. That being said, the book and movie should have a strong "R" rating; no one under the age of 18.
