Age Rating

14+

This book is appropriate for readers above the age of 14. This is because while there isn’t a lot of adult content, there is a lot of violence in the novel (details below). This can be scary to some younger readers. There is also a lot of tragedy that is mentioned, which can be off-putting to some younger readers. Some of the concepts can also be confusing for younger readers and there is a lot of connection of topics that have to happen which is better done by more mature readers. Brothels are also mentioned a various number of times, which is a topic that young readers shouldn’t be exposed to.

Tvix’s Take

I decided to finally read this popular novel because I thought that it was about time I got caught up on it! I wasn’t really sure what I was expecting but I do have to say that I enjoyed it. It was a little boring at times, but ultimately, it was a good mix of action, mystery, and thriller, genres that I enjoy a lot (as you can tell from the books I write reviews about)! Would I recommend this to other people? Hmm, that’s tricky. I would recommend this to people just because it’s a popular book, but I wouldn’t recommend it because of the content. I feel like this book is just a little overrated and didn’t really deliver on the thriller aspect I was expecting. But I enjoyed reading it!
