Huh?
If you couldn't guess from the description of the book, the premise of this story is very dark and disturbing, but on a different level than any other book I've read. It will probably be the same for most other people who take the time to read this. There were several different times I was so disgusted that I nearly stopped reading it, but I was unfortunately curious how it would end. As the story progressed, I really just looked forward to the part where Mona would get caught; that is pretty much the only reason I continued trudging on. I don't really know what to say about the book, aside from the fact that I hated it, based on the subject matter and not the writing, which was fine. Who wants to read a story that goes into show more graphic, too graphic detail of child molesting? This is seriously something I'd be embarrassed to tell anyone I read. I feel there could have been a lot less super descriptive sex scenes and more story. Overall, hated it and wish I hadn't wasted my time, and polluted my brain, reading it. Ugh. show less
