Hey there Tsuki!
I read my first Sherlock Holmes book at the age of 10. The Hounds of the Baskervilles. I was bored to tears. I understood it, I'm pretty sure - it was part of my 'gifted program' reading. I don't think the plot itself was boring, but the way the book was laid out. At the age of 10, and perhaps even now, I just really found it a chore to read rather than a pleasure. Fiction shouldn't have to be a chore! It can be challenging and exciting and you might have to pick through it with a fine tooth comb for meanings...but not a chore.
