Want to find out if a book is clean, or find appropriate books without having to read them all yourself? Book X-ray is the place to find out about the content of books beyond the critical review. We let you know if a book you want to read (or your kids need to read for school, or your book club is considering) contains profanity, sexual content, violence, controversy and more...then you decide what to read.

This is a reader-driven site, so we need your help! Here's how to post a review.

Wild Thorns by Sahar Khalifeh

Contains mild profanity, mild sexual content, and heavy violence and gore.

The Red Tent by Anita Diamant

Contains heavy sexual content and nudity (but it's more on the matter-of-fact side than the salacious detail side), and one incident of moderate violence.

Thanks, Heather!

The Cedar Post by Jack R. Rose

Contains moderate WWII related violence and gore.
