Or if he's too young and his interest in books was cultivated by his parents, I guess the parents also gave him some education in that area as well.
I'm also against *most* ratings of movies, music and games. I am fine with labels for AL, V and N. Any other targeting for audience should be done through advertising. And this rating only applies to movies, music and games because you don't need to be mature to access the content. Everyone can watch a movie and be impacted by it. And the content in those mediums affects you differently than content from books. But it takes education and maturity to access content in most books.
