Although there is almost no profanity in this book, this is going to be the harshest book on my website. Suzanne Collins is such a great writer, she draws you into the story from the first paragraph. The landscape she creates for the ruins of "North America" is bleak and the cruel games that are played in which children are pitted against one another to fight to the death were just a bit too violent for me. I was compelled to read to the end to find out what happened to Katniss, but the violent nature of the subject matter was just too much for me. I chose not to read the other 2 books in the series.
Rating PG-13
Sex-There is a bit of romantic stirrings in the young characters but no blatant sex
Violence-There is a lot of violence, killing and fighting
Profanity-H-ll 3, the word kill is used 73 times
I've always researched ratings and content to avoid graphic sex, violence, and profanity before seeing movies. Why are there no websites showing book options that are free of these items? Here you'll find recommendations for "clean" books, ratings broken down by sex, violence, and profanity. Most of the books will be cozy Murder Mysteries, my favorite genre, however there will be other types of books as well. Hopefully this will help those of you looking for "clean" reads!
