When did you read Enders Game

I was curious when the fans on this site read Enders Game. The age is seemingly debated as to when is appropriate.

I read it within a year or two of it coming out... so my age was never an issue: I was already over 18.

However, I read it aloud to campers who were about 10-12... and I certainly didn't think it was inappropriate. TV and movies and even games are at LEAST as violent, usually even more so.

I was 16.

I think that's a pretty good age to read it at. At the school where I currently teach it's required reading in grade 10.

I read EG the summer after 7th grade, so I would have been 13. I think that was a good age for me, but I missed some of the depth of the Speaker books that first time around (though that may have had nothing to do with my age--books are a new experience with every re-read). If I were to make it required reading I would assign it to a slightly older age group, probably 15-16, but I would not say it is inappropriate for a younger crowd.
I used to hate gravity because it would not let me fly. Now I realize it is gravity that lets me stand.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

I was 13 when the book came out. Looking back, it was inappropriate for my age. Just like the poster above, a camp councilor gave it to me. Creepy.
