Title: 2.5 stars divided
Review: I would give the writing 5 stars. I stayed with the book all the way through because of it. I give the story line 1 star. The subject matter in this historical fiction book eventually succeeded in grossing me out. I didn't care for the characters and I admit, I like to be able to relate in SOME way to at least one. Prok was a charasmatic cult leader who appeared to be living out his own personal fantasies in the name of science. Whatever. Has all this knowledge of how many times a day someone partakes in self-gratifying behavior really benefited society? [...] Milk drove me nuts. I kept hoping his wife would be the redeeming character in the whole book but I felt let down by her too. As a mother and RN when the mention of infant and child sex came up I was physically repulsed. I wish I'd thrown the book down then and moved on.
