No sex, drugs, or rock and roll, though there is some drinking of alcohol. It’s certainly not written for kids, but except for the artist using a human skeleton in his work, discussions of pre-Christian rituals and conflict in Israel/Palestine, which I guess might not be ok with some people, there’s probably nothing “inappropriate” about it for kids. Reading the reviews and quotes here would give a pretty clear sense of the style and content. I can’t imagine a kid enjoying it, but hopefully yours did if they read it :)(less)
