The stories are very well written and of great worth for everyone. Of course you need to overlook a few things, because Kipling wrote it in the 19th century, but if you can make that possible, you will see that the stories are truly beautiful.
For those of you that think you will read the story of Mowgli as it is portrayed in the Disney movie, you will be surprised, but in my opinion not in a bad way.
I strongly recommend this book, not only to young people, but also to adults!
It's an entertaining book, that will keep you engaged till the very last word.
My only warning is that because the books were published in 1894/1895 it is brutal at times and set in a time with a different mind set than today, so if your children want to read it, or you are a child that wants to read it, be aware of these circumstances.
