Okay, I don't object to adding a note to a synopsis that the book contains violence or sexual content, but the level of tolerance for such things varies widely from reader to reader. That means that the reader should bear strongly in mind that such notes reflect only the opinion of the person who wrote it. What I do object to is banning anyone from reading a book just because someone else did not like the content or because someone else decided that certain other people should not read that content.

Hi all,Roger, unfortunately, it does matter to some as to whether there is violence or explicit sexual content. I personally think that adding "violence and explicit discriptions of sex" to a book's synopsis isn't a bad idea. It takes all kinds of readers. People like you and me who read with discriminating tastes don't care about this sort of thing, but there are others to whom it matters. I commend Bookshare for its open and tolerant approach to all readers.Ann P.
