I ditto the other ladies I would read them and then make an decision based on how your child is. I could see how an 11 y/o wouldn't like the books (the violence - kids basically killing kids). My oldest is 4 right now but if he was 11 I wouldn't let him read them. He doesn't like to see people get hurt on tv and I think that him reading it and "seeing" it in his head would be worse for him.
I do know that my aunt let my 12 year old cousin read the books and he loved them. He thinks they are the best books ever.
