jake's mom says

nothing in it obscene but it is more adult ready because the long winded descriptions can be boring thus making the reader not want to finish reading it in my opinion

It certainly doesn't need an age restriction. It's fairly boring no matter what age you are. Magnificent, but so bogged down in history. Just make sure you don't give yourself a time limit on it. Take your time. Allow yourself that time. It might take quite a while.

I read it in eighth grade, so 13. No, it shouldn't have an age restriction. What a silly thing to say. Think about when it was written for goodness' sake. It's a lengthy book, and quite sad, but if you feel you can get through it and understand it, then you can read it.

How old should you be before you read this book? I grew up with the musical so I know the story, but should the book have an age restriction?

i'm 15, and i'm reading it. managed to go through the first three parts, and the storyline is just plain WOW. i mean, with all the revelations and all, the aliases, and all the french words just overwhelm me, that i keep going for the next page. i've been reading this for, like, 5 days, and i'm on page 330-something already. a very tiring book, yes, you can say that because of its length. but hey, the story is like a fairy tale that never ends! looking forward to finishing the book in a week. school's over, anyway.

ps. i love cosette and marius' romance. haha!

Agreed. I was given this book when I was 15 by my parents because I loved the play so much. I only ever got about 200 pages in before completely giving up. I think I've reached that 'certain age of maturity' and finally cracked the book again a couple months ago. It's slow going, but I'm halfway through, and it is fantastic.

It is a very beautiful book.... but I think it should be read when the reader has reached a certain age of maturity...otherwise its essence cannot be fully appreciated...I think anyone below 18 years will not be able to appreciate it completely... also i wont recommend it to people who are trying to develop reading habit. This book can only be read by those who just LOVE reading...
