Horror's Greatest Hits
Kathy Connors asked this question about A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1):
My granddaughter loves to read and I have just received the 5 books in this series - my question is she is 17 - would this be appropriate to send her after I finished - I couldn't find any reviews
Rebecca I was 17 when I first started reading it.

So you think that at 17, your granddaughter's some cherished flower of purity who shouldn't be reading anyth…moreI was 17 when I first started reading it.

So you think that at 17, your granddaughter's some cherished flower of purity who shouldn't be reading anything 'inappropriate?' Well, let me tell you that in the United Kingdom, I am an English Literature college student who's currently looking at very sexual pieces of writing. Literally, some of them scream 'sex'.

It's not as gratuitous as the tv show, but that's not the point. If she likes, it she likes it - it's not as if your granddaughter's going to be 'scarred' by anything that's fictitious.

Satisfied? (P.S - Sorry if I come off as rude. I just hate it when adults still treat people my age like naive children. I am a polite girl, but I was just trying to bluntly make my point).(less)
