The intended audience for this book would have to be teenagers to young adults. I would highly recommend that younger readers do not take part in reading this book because it might just corrupt their minds. The book has many in depth situations that would not be suitable for children. These scenes might not be for children, it makes the book come alive for the more mature audience. These descriptive parts kept me on the edge of my seat through the whole book. I don't think anyone under the age of 13-14 should read this book, but I highly recommend it to anyone older than that.
