[NZone]

I went with don't care, because I don''t. Although, it does add realism but also these books are meant for kids. Have you ever watched a movie and said, "Man, these guys swear a lot, its over the top even for bad guys." I have, but I also have watched a movie and said, "You know what, if this was real life, im sure someone wouldve swore by now, even if its under their breath or something. I mean how many people will hit themselves with a hammer and go, "Good golly Miss Molly!" It adds realism, but these books are meant for kids. But ultimately, i would rather have a well-written book with one or two cuss words in it than a nonsensical book that you put down after two chapters, but ultimately, i really dont care.
