Like I have said, I am not a proponent of censoring. Although I didn't personally agree with the content in the following books, I'm sure many disagree with me. For my personal taste, which is admittedly conservative, I didn't enjoy these books, and put them down before finishing them. However, I encourage everyone to make their own decisions. Here are some books that, because of content, I decided not to finish:
WHY? I read this book a long time ago, but I still remember the strong sensuality, even in the first few chapters. It was enough to cause me to quit reading it.
WHY? This book had potential. It's about a girl who knows a person's death date just by looking at him. However, there was quite a bit of strong language. I couldn't stomach it after a while, and put it down.
WHY? I have a limit to how many times I can hear the F-word before I put a book down, but even though this book used strong language, I still stuck with it, because the storytelling was fluid and interesting, and I wanted to find out what would happen. There was some reference to body maturation, and some sexual references and sensuality. There was also a scene of homosexual sensuality, so I didn't end up finishing the book.
WHY? I knew they were making a movie based on this book, and wanted to try reading it. However, there were several sexual references in this book, as well as some offensive language. In addition, a few chapters in, there was a scene of strong sensuality (including homosexuality), so I gave up on it.
WHY? I was enjoying this book at first. The writing was great, and the story was interesting. However, it passed my threshold for strong language, so I didn't end up finishing it in the end.
WHY? I was intrigued by the previews for the movie, and hoped the book would be cleaner than the movie (based on its R rating). However, there was quite a bit of strong language, violence, and sexual reference, and I gave up on it.
