I think that boys would like the book more then girls, in general. Kim is not a love story..and doesn't even mention many females.. its a story of a boy growing up and becoming a man. Its the story of a spies and thieves and seems to targeted towards a male reader. But, like I said I read it and liked it and got a lot out of reading it.
I think that if you are interested in history you will like the book. It has a lot of history poured into it here and there. I think I have said it before but, I had just been studying the religions and customs of India when I started reading the book so that definitely helped in the understanding of some of the words used.
Most of the copies of "Kim" come with a glossary in the back. My advise to you would be: USE IT! You will definitively understand the book better if you understand what they are saying! :)
Read it if you like: thrillers, history, Rudyard Kipling, or stories of overcoming boundaries.
