Very interesting. I've heard bits and pieces but you consolidated and made it understandable.

Very informative, and an interesting concept. Something to consider for me too maybe.

Yeah, enormous isn't much better. What struck me is how much the changes reflect contemporary culture wars instead of actually trying to make the books less offensive. Maybe okay if you scrub the n-word, but change a character from male to female? Why? Or change any mention of "white" to something else? Why? Pretty awful decisions across the board.

Totally right. I would hate to have it happen to my fiction.
