Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman?

Question

I saw Noughts and Crosses in the bookshop and thought it sounded really good, but on the back it said Not for Younger Readers. Can anyone tell my why this is? Because I don't want to buy it and find it's inappropriate for my age. So ... if anyone could tell me, that'd be great.

Answer 1

it was a while ago since i read it but i think its probably suitable.. theres a little bit of death and romance but nothing too bad.

buy it. its a good book.

Answer 2

younger kids wouldnt understand some of it and not like it - i read it and it made me cry, also it is quite rude in points
