Great book for pedophiles
Do not buy this book. I have never written a review before but this book was so disgusting I feel compelled to warn people. If I could give it 0 stars I would.
Is it well written? Yes. For someone who condones pedophilia. I only read to the end because I couldn’t believe that a book so popular wouldn’t end with the victim living a life far from her abuser. I was wrong. Not sorry for spoiling the ending. I can’t believe Amazon is even willing to sell this. It seems like it should be sold by some secret NAMBLA website to justify a man’s sexual relationship with a 13 year old (though the inappropriate activity starts even younger). I am not a prude. Consider myself a liberal feminist (so not some conservative who believes in censorship) but this is awful.
I myself wish I had read more of the reviews before I purchased this book and didn’t go by the overall star rating. I’m disappointed with my fellow readers for rating it so highly. I’m about to read “A Handmaids Tale” and feel like I’ll be less disturbed.
