Content Advisory

(What's this?)

Whole Story Audio Books has developed a unique system to guide you on the level of explicit content in our audio books. The system is applied against our titles to consistently rate levels of explicit language, sex and violence.

We consider not only frequency of content type but also the context: for example, strong language in a humorous setting is different from aggressive use of strong language.

Whilst there will always be subjectivity and different individuals views on this matter, we hope that you will find our content guide useful if these criteria form part of your selection process when choosing your next audio book.

  • Violence: Moderate
