Comments on: Book Rating – The age restriction ratings we know from television, PG, 13, 16, 18. http://www.gotfredsen.com/rhetoric/book-rating-40.htm Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur Thu, 18 Aug 2011 10:10:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: kerope http://www.gotfredsen.com/rhetoric/book-rating-40.htm/comment-page-1#comment-6 kerope Thu, 15 Apr 2010 22:45:03 +0000 http://www.gotfredsen.com/?p=40#comment-6 I think that there should be ratings on books. I actually didn't worry about it until yesterday when I was reading a book by Harold Robinson- ironically enough. I was at the library & wanted a good mystery. There was The Looters which has ancient artifacts in it- which I love stuff like that. I thought it would be great. I quit by page 60 because of how blase' he was about sex, how many partners, and the crass word usage. I'm an adult and don't want to run into that when I'm looking for a good book to read. I wish that there was some sort of content warning on the books themselves so that I don't have to have those images stuck in my head when I just wanted an adventure with danger & maybe a little romance. But not all out descriptive sex and talk of orgies. There should be ratings but like all things they shouldn't go overboard. Just warn people of what might be in there.
