What is the minimal age, at which "Starship troopers" the book is safe for a child?
I want to "hook" my child on reading. I had a partial victory with Minecraft for Dummies (he found it useful) and after talking to him I found out that he may be interested in reading Starship troopers by Robert Heinlein.
At what age is this book (not the movie) safe for a child?
By "safe" I mean not too much and not too hard violence, no sex. I'm rereading that book right now to figure it out for myself, but I'd like to hear the opinions of other parents.
I found age ratings for the movie, but not for the book.

The problem with this question is that there is no definitive answer, and just asking for opinions is a) not necessarily going to help you as all opinions could be correct for that individual, and b) not suitable on the Stack Exchange platform.
I may tell you it is fine for an 11 year old, someone else may be happy giving it to their 8 year old, and someone else may consider it offensive for anyone.
Your best route is almost certainly the one you have taken - read the book yourself and decide whether you are happy with your child reading it. And if you have concerns, you could read it with them, or encourage them to come to you to ask about any of the more adult themes or to understand the satire.
