There are lots of book reviews that say "Recommended for boys" or "Would suit girls" or something similar. These recommendations should only act as "guidelines". In other words a reader can choose a book based on their own likes and dislikes. If you are a 10 year old boy and want to read a book that says "Recommended for girls" just GO FOR IT! I have read heaps of books "for boys" (and I am a girl) and I know heaps of boys who have read books "for girls".

yeah i read all types of books, and some of thm i think are 'meant for boys' but i just read them because most of the time they are good books!
That is 100% true! Because I read (and love) the artemis fowl books and in the second book 'the arctic incident', in the ratings or the blab one of the publishers said: "Boys of all ages will love these books." Thats really discriminating! I dont care though. I love these books and I'm sticking with them. Take that 'Daily Telegraph'!!!!
Hi sweet lil litquiz girl. "Discrimination" is right. I think it is great that you read all types of books. So do I. :-)
