Literature is constantly changing. The absolutely fantastic thing is that if you suspect you won't like a book or that you will be offended by it, you don't have to even start reading it. If what you find offensive takes you by surprise, you can, as you put it in your post, stop reading. If you feel this is not enough, you can leave a review condemning the gratuitour violence, sex etc. I can't imagine that the author you contacted to say that you could not recommend his book was happy about it. If enough people share your response, the book will not be a success. There are so many ebooks being "published" now, and they never go out of "print". I'm sure you can find something to read.
Personally, I'm sure that the vast majority of us have personal limits on how graphic descriptions of sex and violence should be. We should not seek to impose our values on others. Are you advocating censorship?
