Re: Terry Goodkind books--not appropriate

[Cindy Denning <Cynden744@AOL.COM>]

Dear Netters,

A few days ago, someone posted a question about Terry Goodkind books for the
HS library.  I responded that they were popular at the bookstore where I
work.  It's been bothering me ever since, until I remembered that I had
actually read the first book of the series.  I can't recall the title
(protective amnesia), but this book is NOT AT ALL appropriate for the HS
library.  It's not appropriate for ME, at age 40!  It contains a long section
involving sadmasochistic sexual slavery/torture/murder.  DO NOT put this book
in your library without reading it first, and then I think you won't want to.
 As best I can recall, that secton comes maybe 2/3 of the way through the
book.  I can foresee challenges coming out of the woodwork here, and for good
reason.  I have not read any of his other books.  I didn't see the need.

I sent another response to the original poster, and she suggested I post this
to the group.  I didn't want anyone to be thinking that this would be a good
thing to buy just because they'd seen it mentioned here.
