He is twelve years old you know this is not the time to get him a book think of his popularity and size
@Avani
You know kids say they like to read then they hit puberty and then never read another book for the rest of there lifeHe likes to read. Took The Count of the Monte Cristo from my shelf, two years ago. I bet he didn't read or understood it properly and jumped pages. But he made it a matter of pride and wouldn't give it back because I told him he was too young for it. So I let him keep that.
I will rather give him something that suits him so he doesn't raid my personal collection again.
Might I suggest a book on abnormal child psychology?He likes to read.
Their assumption was that he didn't actually read Count of Monte CristoAt around that age I read Crime and Punishment by F. Dostoevsky (still one of my favs) and since he seemed to like Count of Monte Cristo I think that one's a safe bet.
Also, The Picture of Dorian Gray by O. Wilde? Anna Karenina by L. Tolstoy, maybe something else by A. Dumas.
Erm, Wuthering Heights by E. Brontë, Shogun by J. Clavell or Quo Vadis by H. Sienkiewicz (another of my favs). These are all good choices for a 12yo imo.

More pointedly felt the need to respond in that some of these choices have questionable content for a 12 year old depending on the parent's sensitivities. Dorian Gray is a hedonist and Oscar Wilde caused quite a stir for the inflammatory content that offended the moral sensibilities at the time and it holds true to some degree to this day. The whole novel is essentially Dorian Gray indulging himself to a degree it leads to his death hardly apt for a 12 year old I'd say. Some of the other novels recommended could be exceedingly dry for the average 12 year old if not age inappropriate as well.
That's why I said he seemed to like it. At least he was interested so I thought similar books would also interest him, maybe more so.Their assumption was that he didn't actually read Count of Monte Cristo
Agree actually, to a certain degree; it really depends on the kid. I replied based on what I liked to read at the time. In a library no one would have given me those books, but since they were all at home in our library I had free reign. I think those books positively helped me into shaping my view on the world, I wouldn't hesitate letting a 12yo reading them if they wanted to.More pointedly felt the need to respond in that some of these choices have questionable content for a 12 year old
No, that's one book I never had any interest in reading. Still don't. Along with Papillon by Charrière and Robinson Crusoe by Defoe.have u guyz read teh novel caled "a mizerables" of viktore hogo????..
If the assumption is that they didn't in fact read it then it doesn't "seem" as if they liked it, it's quite the opposite really, it seems that they didn't like it as they didn't actually read it. Now perhaps they did the wording leaves it open that they very well might have, but not that it was not a likely possibility. If I were to make a statement of, "Pizza is my least favorite Italian food that I have eaten" does it seem likely that I enjoy pizza? I'd say no, seems like I dislike it after all it's my least favorite, but if I went on to explain it's the only Italian food I've had then it's both the best and worst however to assume that based on the initial statement given is quite the flawed logic.That's why I said he seemed to like it. At least he was interested so I thought similar books would also interest him, maybe more so.
