Reading When Moon Hits the Eye by John Scalzi.

I am still in the start, but the premise is hilarious. Looking forward to how everything unfolds.

What about all of you, what have you been reading or listening to lately?

I have a young family friend that wants to read those. obviously you like them enough to read to book five, but do you think the content is appropriate for a younger reader?

I’m the wrong person to ask regarding age appropriate content. My father deemed it appropriate to let me hack people with a chainsaw in Grand Theft Auto Vice City at age 4 and so I’ve never been limited in the media I consume.

The first book is considered YA though, from the second book onwards it’s getting a more series tone. There is violence, mentions of drugs here and there, power struggles, politics, mentions of rape and more wicked stuff.

I hope this will be enough information to make a decision.
