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.

The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale

Contains moderate sword fighting violence and gore.

The Burgess Boys by Elizabeth Strout

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