Also, it could be that my definition of objectionable and your definition are different, although we are both Christians. So, I will keep trying to be useful and will continue to try to add warnings such as these when applicable. Thanks for your feedback! Phyllis Wheeler Hello M.,

As a Christian mom of a 9 year old and a tween who both devour books, it is impossible for me to review all the books they are interested in, so sites like yours are very helpful. In that light, may I ask a favor? When you do reviews, it would be great if you could offer specifics on the content of the book that may be objectionable. To me, this is even more important than literary value. For example, our family firmly believes in "garbage in, garbage out," so we are very careful about what we read when it comes to profanity, violence, sex, occult/mysticism, etc. I would have allowed my child to read Pendragon based upon your review, but upon closer inspection of the book itself, I found offensive language, lewd and indecent comments, fantasizing about a girl and sexuality, and more. There was nothing at all in your review to alert a parent to this. Would you please consider including these types of alerts in the reviews on your site if you don't currently? Thank you. M.
