My parents never talked to me about my books much. I read a lot of Stephen King starting when I was around 15 or 16.
I've read some books I don't think I'd want my kid to read until they were out of university, but that's pretty rare. I don't think that's me not thinking my kid could handle it, but me not being able to rationalize it to them in any way.
Ender's Game has some moments in it, but nothing that terrible in my mind. The squirrels is disturbing, but they can find that on the news. If I can't discuss that with my son I can't discuss the evening news with him either.
