Yes ! then that book doesn't remain for readingmumoscar wrote:It may not be restricted. I think it's a way to show characters emotions but if it gets out of hand it may. It may cause potty mouths if the author is not cautious on the usage.

ohh ! you are also right to some extent.ReadingRebecca wrote:Hmm, good question. I enjoy books without strong language because it's just more relaxing for me. At the same time, if the book's characters were rough individuals, the story wouldn't sounds very realistic if they didn't cuss. In general, I don't often go for those types of books anyway.

yep ! I agree . No need for censorshipMiss_BeckyG wrote:I don't see the need for censorship in books. Eventually it is a matter of preference for the reader. Maybe there should be versions of the book like with music...the clean edit and the other. All in all, if the book is full of expletives then it will distract the reader. It then requires the author to find a balance so as not to take away from the character(s).

Yup. I think so. I have read some books with strong language which are not actually significant to the given situation. They are actually are a disturbance to the story or to the narration.k2rugman wrote:I don't think there should be any kind of censorship in writing books but I do think less of an author when there is significant strong language. I can understand an expletive in an intense situation but when a character says the F word five times in a casual sentence it feels sloppy and childish.

I agree that it makes the characters more real. This world we live in can be a beautiful but hard place and I like when books truly show this.MyAustin616 wrote:I actually prefer books with strong language and suggestive themes. I also enjoy the dark we books that have triggers in them. It makes the characters seem more real to me.

Yeah. The value-laden principle may apply to this issue. The reader decides on what is bad or good for him.
