Well, since bookstores and publishers haven't been too concerned about whether or not 13-year-olds could buy novels that had descriptions of sex and violence in the past, I honestly don't know why they would need a film and game-type ratings system now. I reiterate that a ratings system similar to those used by films and games would be wholly inappropriate to literature, and would only do it a disservice.
