Not that great..
The sexuality is very very very mild and the violence is nothing I read this in my reading class and i got a C- because the book was so bad that I could really read it. But I what happens because we had discusions about the book every day. The sex/nudity is nothing at all and there is not violence (from a perspective of someone who reads Steven King books)

Relaxing, yet Exciting!
Silent to the bone is a nice mystery book, that I myself recognize as a relaxing, yet exciting, book for anyone over the age of (at least) 13. I recognize this book as an adventurous, thriller book. Although this book may contain unsuitable material, such as minor sexuality as well as smoking, I actually enjoyed trying to solve this mind bobbling book. I am 14 years old, and I have succeeded in enjoyment, and respect, of a book chosen for a curriculum requirement.

a great book
my school participated in reading olympics and delaware county recommended this book to be on the middle school list. there werent that many inapropriate scenes and i loved the mystery. i dont see why kids cant read this i read it when i was 11 and ok fine im 12 now but i still dont get why people make such a big deal about not even a couple pages. yes that stuff is innapropriate for elementary school kids but cant parents just give a little more credit to older kids?? im starting the second book tonight :-)

It's a great book for tweens and teans.
I love this book. I had to read it for a book project for school and I thought it was great. I was very interested in it and I could not stop reading it. I think that it is a great book for some tweens and teens.

Great mystery!
I really enjoyed the plot of this book. I do agree that the sexual content was kinda iffy but other than that it was really great. I finished it in 2 nights.

Such Crap
I cant believe people write this crap and it gets published. I accidently picked this up when I was much younger (it was in the childrens section of the library?!) and read it adn was absolutely disgusted. I hate this book completly.

i felt like i was almost there...very good book!!
this book started out by confusing me a little bit, but as the story went on to tell branwells problema nd what had happened, piece by piece everything else fell into place! the highlight of this story is when branwells friend finds out what really happened to him and the whole situation with his half sister! im telling you that this book is worth reading and if you dont you are missing out on soo much and youll regret it!
