Dona asked this question about
The Dictionary of Lost Words:
Why did I waste 8 hours of reading just to be hit with very obscene language? Beautiful cover, great story idea completely wasted. I could be reading many authors who do not rely on this shock factor to sell their books. Please could someone have a rating system to let readers know what to expect? I would be so grateful.

Stick to fairy tales. Shock factor? That men controlled what words went into the dictionary? You missed the whole point!
