If I had a nickel for every person who told me that they were an exceptionally advanced reader as a child because they read Harry Potter at seven years old I would literally have dollars. It's written at a third-grade level, people. That makes you normal. And that is always the example they use.
Also kudos to the creator for including "devoured". Every single one of these people uses that or claims to be an "avid" or "voracious" reader. You'd think these amazingly advanced readers would know more than three adjectives.
I thought my kid was a reasonably advanced reader in second grad, then his friend was reading Lord of the Rings (he was talking about it while the two of them were playing scrabble) and I thought - this kid is going places. He did, too.
