The book I tried when I was in my late teens was John Le Carre's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy. Way too young to sort out the convoluted plot. I finally suceeded in reading this and its sequel only after the great BBC TV adaptation starting Alec Guiness. The problem is I still find him difficult to read and he wrote the sort of novels I was really into during my twenties & thirties. By comparison I read Leon Uris' Exodus at thirteen. It took me a week then and I went on to many of his works. |

Then there are books that have some nasty violence in them. I remember a really nasty rape scene in the The Fionavar Tapestry series by Guy Gavriel Kay. Unfortuntly they had been classed as childrens litt. by people who didn't know better and I was much too young when I read it.
