Jess replied to David E's discussion Should books be rated?"A book that's labeled first grade would never, ever have the word 'fuck' in it. Publishing companies would be flayed alive by parent groups. A book rating system would be seriously detrimental to books sales and the emergence of new…"

Savanna Shay replied to David E's discussion Should books be rated?"I feel that the categorizing system in place, such as children's or young adult, is enough of a rating for books. Just by virtue of genre, books are sorted out for the most part. Most children's books aren't going to contain…"
