Book Review Site for Parents

[gottadobe]

Are there any good/known book review sites for parents to monitor what their kids are reading?

I like common sense media -- movies, books, games.. there's a limit on monthly free searches, but I'm considering paying for it because it is a really convenient and concise resource.

Agree with Common Sense Media. The reviews there tend to be much more conservative than I am, but it gives me a good idea of the content.

Rats, I thought you were posting one! I like CSM but it usually doesn't have the book I'm trying to find.

I was hoping it would have "Revenge of the Sluts." It does not and we did return it to the library today. Sorry dd, you'll have to check that one out in a year or two!

i also use common sense media. I find it gives a good overview of the media i am checking out.

Thanks All! I will forward that information along. My BFs daughter is starting to venture out and I'm not interested in pre-reading any of this nonsense.
sunshineandpinot, it didn't have what I was looking for either. Too new I guess.

As a librarian I use www.titlewave.com/ It is run by a library book vendor, so you are supposed to be linked to a school or library to create an account, but I bet you could make up a fake library to set it up. It makes it really easy to look up suggested ages for books and it has an app so if I'm in a bookstore or public library with my kids I can scan the barcode of a book and pull up the reviews for it. 
You can look up any book and they have reviews from several literary journals that include suggested ages for the book.
I looked up Revenge of the Sluts mentioned above and here's a review for it
