content: I like mysteries, etc. even those with some violence, but I found this highly disturbing: considering the issues of the day, itexploits torture, sexualizes it (oh so subtley) and leaves for theun-doubtedly unending sequels the "punishment" of the villain. Icannot help but feel total DISGUST for the writer who has somereal skill and accomplishments (does NOT need to do this). He does NOT help society look at the pros and cons of torture (?46%of us think "some" torture is OK!!!????) but encourages us to getsome kind of vicarious feeling from the long drawn-out descriptions--feels really "sicko" to me. As a volunteer in a library who does not believe in "censorship," this is the oneexception I have run across. (We had choices of audio-tapes & Isimply could not recommend this one). With ratings of "5" I fearfor our future (along with everything else currently going on).
