Some books get marked as adult because the proofreader finds the material to
be very sensitive. I only mark books adult if they are sexually graphic but
often Bookshare takes and marks my books adult for me. I find the Penny
Warner books about the small town newspaper reporter who is deaf always get
marked adult because she is fond of the f word. Her sex scenes are always
very very very bland so it isn't the few and far between sex scenes, it has
to be her colorful language.
I've scanned many other books which Bookshare automatically marked adult and
as the scanner I cannot unmark it. Only the proofreader can do it.
I'm told that many Elie Weisel books are now required reading in high
schools these days so probably Bookshare should be made aware of the
situation so they can assess it.
