I was with a couple who brought their 7-year-old son, and he got restless by the end, although I'm not sure what he thought of the violence. He isn't usually allowed to see anything violent. I thought the battle scenes were quite visceral, even though there is no blood. And seeing another child risk injury might disturb some children I suppose.As to the religious allegory argument, I've never really bought that one. I read the book for the first time a couple of weeks ago, being fully aware of all the discussion, and really didn't find the religious aspect at all obvious. But every reader gets out of a book what he/she puts into it; naturally our own beliefs color what we perceive.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
