Title: Poorly developed plot, some sickening scenes of violence.
Review: Overall, this book was very troubling. I find it bizarre that this book remains perennially popular when the stories it tells of violence, perversion, and a deeply spiteful god are so repugnant.I find it difficult to believe that so many people can expose their children to this kind of sickness. To make matters worse, many of these people regularly assemble in a meeting hall to discuss the book at length - all the while exposing the children whose psychological health they ought to protect to a depiction of one of the most grotesque scenes of human suffering in all of literature - a crucifix.I would recommend this book only to *adults* who are interested in a more or less unabashed study of depravity, poorly imagined moral philosophy, and complete contempt for rational human beings.
