I definitely disagree. I read it when I was 13, and it instantly became my favourite book. In school, we studied it when I was 15. I personally think children under the age of 18 should definitely read it. “…eventhough, i don’t think kids under 18 should read 1984 anyways.”

Yeah, i wish we here in Indo can get book easier. All major bookstores don't ship to our country. To the kids, at least Shepard Fairey is one of those cool enough dude for kids. I mean poster, flyers featuring latest book design by Obey Clothing designer are placed outside bookstores. Hey Greg thanks for stopping by.

The kids have to be in the bookstore/library before they even see the cover. It's a nice design though, and I would probably pick up a new copy (since mine is old and oft read). As to kids under 18 reading 1984, I don't really see why they should wait. It's heavy reading for some and the content is pretty dense. But individual readers are more than able to handle the subject well before 18 (I was when I read it at 15.) Animal Farm is definitely an easier read that has many similar themes. If you haven't read both of these books, you should. Along with A Clockwork Orange and Brave New World. I don’t think that a book cover will get more kids to read a book.
