I remember telling my parents this was my favorite book when I was 10.
Yes, it helps if you read it before you are 10, affecting dramatically more of your life than anything read as an adult.
I still remember being engrossed by this as a 10 year old, looking forward to reading this again with any kids I have of my own.
