I really wish there was a screening app that could look for content, that would have saved some people a few nasty surprises.

I cannot speak about David Drake, but I've read enough of Anne McCaffrey to know this just isn't so. Pern is not confusing and upsetting. I cannot think of anything she has written that's confusing and upsetting So please tell is what exactly in her Pern series that's confusing and upsetting as I cannot think of anything that would be no good for young kids.
