[quote=Anonymous]I read it when I was in 7th grade. No ill effects. I also don't believe in censoring books, and my ten year old has read two SK novels and a collection of short stories. But I can tell you some elements that would be concern for a 10 year old and would definitely make me lean toward NO! Child abuse and molestation inferences/wife abuse. Explicit and powerful but whoa. Not just children who get murdered, but at least two children who are the murderers. A gay man who gets murdered brutally but first there is a lot of hateful talk (from characters, not the authors) toward gay men. Explicit, hateful talk. Time jump narrative and confusing timelines (for a 10 year old). 50% of the book is from adult perspective, not children. The sex scene at the end. Plus more.[/quote]
