wendyroo Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I just read this and decided that my third grader isn't quite ready for it yet...especially the vampire/sex chapter. Wendy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I just read this and decided that my third grader isn't quite ready for it yet...especially the vampire/sex chapter. Wendy Yes, I disliked it. I was so excited to get it when it first came out because I'd read his adult version. This version simply has a few things removed and reworded, and examples that aren't appropriate for the 8-12 set were left in (specifically the vampire chapter). Not to mention the examples were from Hemingway and the like, which is great, but why not use examples the targeted set might have read? I decided by the time my boys were ready for it, they might as well read the adult version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is good to know. I'd definitely pre-read the vampire chapter. Like I said, I really enjoyed his adult version, so maybe I expected more from the kids' version since I had just finished the adult version when the kids' version came out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has read it all aloud to me (and I was listening so I didn't just miss it :lol: ). But somehow we managed to dodge that bullet and accidentally skip it. I am perplexed. I am reading it now, alone, and no I wouldn't want him reading it. Thank ya'll so much for the heads up, I need to pre-read the rest of this book before we read more.
