Shadi Muhammad (DrShadi) | 5 comments I was wondering if you could add a "Parental Guide" or "Content advisory" field to book details.
And an option for Goodreads users to add their notes.

Sandra | 31508 comments Shadi, at the bottom of the review page there is a spot for private notes. I use it occasionally and it works well.

Shadi Muhammad (DrShadi) | 5 comments Sandra, Private notes are shown only to you.
I meant adding a field (below those of ISBN, Language, Publisher, Pages, etc) to be available for all other users about the content not suitable for kids or teenagers.
To be edited by the librarians and of course with an option for other readers to share their remarks

Renske | 12223 comments The feedback group is a better place to discus this idea. There have been threads about this before.

I agree with Renske. Plus I don't want to be able to edit people's opinions of books. Slippery slope to censorship.

Dee (austhokie) | 897 comments This has been discussed in the feedback group quite a few times - the overall result is no thanks and of you are looking for that kind of info join a group that specifically caters to children's books or read some of the more in depth reviews (if there are hot button topics they will normally be mentioned)

Oh thanks. I didn't know about the "feedback group" :)
Now I've joined it

I'm talking about a separate page for each book for information about the content. Not people's opinions and reviews.

I'll look for it, thanks
