I read it as a 10th grader in high school. I don't think I am HG or PG but I do think of that book as a high school book...I don't really think I could have read it at 10, too much to slog through (I really loved it but it did take effort to read it and generally reading for me is effortless).

My 2nd grader (will be 8 in December) *devoured* The Hobbit. We read the first few chapters together, and then he stole it from my bedside table (!) and kept reading it on his own. I think it's all about what interests a kid.
