Is the book the handmaid's tale okay for 13 year olds?

Question

i'm pretty mature, i guess.

tell me if you think so and why. and how old you were when you read it, thanks@

Answer 1

It is a pretty "racy" book with a good deal of adult controversy. A better choice would be Catherine, Called Birdy by:Karen Cushman - it deals with many of the same issues but from the perspective of a young girl - you will get more out of a book if it is geared to not only a subject of interest but in the appropriate forum. Good Luck!

Answer 2

I had no restrictions on what to read when I was a kid.

I watched the movie with a twelve year old- with her mother's permission.

Go for it!
