Is the book aimed at the younger reader?
I remember this being talked about a lot when I was in middle school in the 80s. Would I enjoy reading this as an adult?

shareThe original book was geared towards a younger audience, but I don't think there was a Young Adults category when it published in 1979. I think adults could read it, but the story is harder to swallow. For instance, as far as I can recall, the book never mentions the children's clothing being washed - in 3 years! They occasionally wear old clothes found in the attic, but not on a daily basis.
shareThe kids are in the attic for 3 years?!
