I can only speak from my own experience.
I started reading primarily "adult" books when I was around 13 or 14. My parents never banned me from reading any book. They just made sure they were available (or rather, my mother was) to discuss things.
I think it's wrong to keep your kids from seeing, hearing, or reading things that actually happen in the real world. But as a parent, you do need to take your responsibility to put it all in perspective and talk to your kid about it.
Naturally, you can say a book isn't really suited for your kid, simply because he or she wouldn't understand the deeper meaning of it and thus render the book less fun to read.
