I found this book to be very disappointing and disgusting. Haven't we come farther than this? And a woman wrote it? Aren't we tired of the depiction of violence toward women in all walks of our society? Regardless of the outcome?In other words, I had hoped for more plot and less graphic detail and violence toward women; more depth in the characters (less sterotyping of women). Didn't appreciate the details on the rapes, molesting of children, etc. it wasn't necessary. All in all, a book I won't keep in my home.
