Title: Maybe a BIT misogynistic
Review: This is a fast-paced and well-described thriller, very tight and compellingly written.BUTI'm as good a sport about sex and gore as the next guy, but the thing that makes this book disturbing is that large portions of it are written from the perspective of a sex-obsessed rapist -- and it seems at times that the author sympathizes with him more than with the female characters!And then, while the humiliations and abuses that Stanley carries out on his victims are described in great detail, the final fate of Stanley more or less occurs "off screen."There's a difference between a disturbing story and disturbing perspective! Feminists might be leery of this one.
