This review is from: The Age of Innocence (Bloom's Reviews) (Paperback)

Well, I am a 17 year old high schooler, and I just read "The Age of Innocence", I don't think people of my age should be reading this kind of books, most of my people in my English class didn't understand like half of the vocabulary, I personally didnt understand some of it. I wouldn't recommend this book to any young people, it involves lots of imaginary love scenes that I dont think people in my age understand.
