Yeah, I'd agree with the 14 thing. I read a lot of Xanth (and other Anthony books - he was prolific in my local library) from the ages of 12 to 14.

They were fun, when all the misogynistic ick flew over my head and they just seemed to be bright and cheerful and playful. One of my friends who I'd loaned one of them to clued me in to the fact that all was not quite sunshine, though, and I gave 'em up pretty soon after.

...The puns got really wearying, after a while, too.
