Even if you look at manga which tends to be rated: I bought a load of 'M' rated manga (which is supposed to be 18+ or something) when I was in my early teens. Though I'm pretty sure those ratings are only advisory. And the oh, joys of knowing one can take erotica out of a library even when your card states your age etc. But, yeah, I'm pretty sure they have a 13 or so limit on things outside of the kids/teenage section in most libraries.
Coin Locker Babies is. And I don't know where my copy of Almost Transparent Blue is, I think I leant it to Shanah and she still has it. (You know, when I was reading that in year 11, someone started reading that book over my shoulder and it ended up passed around my whole English class.) And, yep, books can get away with just about anything, it's fairly ridiculous. But the internet is a very dangerous place.
Yeah, it's pretty concerning. But, yeah, it is a bit of a covering-your-back measure that's not really going to do much. And, on principle, I don't like it either. It's pretty pretencious, really.
