Shannon asked this question about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (The Tales of Dunk and Egg, #1-3):

It's not a book for kids at all, and for teens only if you're comfortable having them read about brothels, plays on the word "pussy", teens being caught in the middle of sex in a kitchen, and people undressing the bride and copping feels on the way to her bedding.

I used to teach high school English and I'm not ignorant of what teens get up to by any means, but I'd be uncomfortable and would not let my own teen-aged children read it.(less)
