LOL Shellymos,
I watched DS12 skip a whole page while reading Artimis Fowl - when he was in 2nd grade. I thought that the book was a little too advanced for him and much too dark... sure enough, he put it down about 50 pages later, and, to my knowledge, hasn't ever read any of the books again.
In a way I think he understands things so deeply that he can miss a page here or there without missing much. I've noticed that when I listen to audio books, sometimes a few tracks are ruined due to scratches, and I'm usually pretty comfortable plowing ahead...not that I would do it on purpose, but there doesn't seem to be much 'there' there in a lot of the Young Adult books.
Smiles,
Grinity
