Personally, I like the NLS method. Some people may have an aversion to violence, but no problem with explicit sex, or vice versa. People can make more appropriate decisions about their reading selections with this type of information.

Hi! One way to note a book's content is to use language such as "contains strong language" or "contains violence". I've done that when writing a synopsis for books that consistently use the "f" word, for example. NLS will designate a book in a similar fashion. Personally, I find that helpful. Because a book contains some profanity won't make it adult--but if the person submitting or proofreading it includes a comment as to "contains some strong language" the reader can more easily choose whether or not to read the book. *smile* I also realize that some determinations are purely subjective.
