    Default appropriate for 13 years?

    my son is into stephen king. he has read; The Talisman, The Shining, The Eyes Of The Dragon, Night Shift, Cujo, Rage, The Gunslinger, 'Salem's Lot, Misery, Different Seasons and Carrie. do you think it would be appropriate? i'm only worried about sexual content

    IMO sexual content the books I have read is limited to nonexistent. I think it is good that your thirteen year old is reading on this level.

    I know there were a few graphic parts in Shawshank, and maybe Carrie? Rage was extremely intense in other ways . . .

    So I think the Dead Zone's okay then, I can't remember alot of graphic sex in it.

    Anyone remember different?

    I say it's a go, but then I've been rather inappropriate for the better part of a half century, so what do I know

    I guess it all depends on how developed your son is. At 13 I was already playing all the "over-violent games" and reading about murders and stuff of the sort. If he's already read 'Salem's Lot, I think he should be fine.
