my nephew is turning 15 in a few weeks and likes reading, what book(s) should i get him for his birthday? i remember some of the young adult stuff i liked when i was a kid like terry pratchett eragon etc. but i can never remember how old i actually was when i liked it, i got him artemis fowl last year but i feel like he might have been a little old for it already. any suggestions? i was thinking about this or enders game or something

yea nah, don't buy LET THE RIGHT ONE IN until he's 17 min, preferably 18. The first fucking chapter is about a pedophile getting a toothless blowjob from a child prostitute........................ not appropriate for a fifteen year old at all. You'd come off with a pedo uncle vibe (you probs are to even consider this buying this for him). Buy him the Lord of the Rings or something, at least it won't traumatise him
