I can only guess that this book has attracted readers (see goodread reviews) because of the cursed FSOG and those readers couldn't actually handle the content...... again like other books I have read as dark as this, why can't the reader throw away their subjective when reading these dark books?  It's almost as though I feel they can't go public and admit to liking such a 'mess with your head' book.  It's not as if the author doesn't warn of the content, and it's that warning that actually totally drew me to reading this book and I wish potential readers would heed these warning before embarking on taking a book like this on.
