In fact, I kept putting off reading this one, despite the interesting things I heard about it, because of that reading preference.<br /><br />I'll be interested to hear what you decide...Jackie C.

Although I've read that it's a fairly common sexual fantasy and that a) it's not real rape because in the fantasy things happen in a different way from real rapes; and b) it doesn't mean that the person having this fantasy really wants to be raped... It makes me uncomfortable nevertheless and I prefer not to find it in my books. <br />After reading your analysis, I womder if I should read this book before judging it. But at the same time, I'm aware that I'm not the public for this kind of story.Bona Caballerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08999745390738959715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630346294397505634.post-17880915237010760772015-07-14T11:20:25.946-04:002015-07-14T11:20:25.946-04:00More shopping for me!

She acted almost as a Greek chorus, helping the reader deal with the subject and the way Vivienne was exploring it.Darlene Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12257357992471110528noreply@blogger.com
