Cara, que livro tenso. 

Já vou avisando logo; tem uma cena de estupro mais ou menos em 1/3 do livro, que é bem explícita por sinal. Esse livro eu li praticamente dissociando por causa do tom pesado dele (e temas).. é um livro maravilhosamente bem escrito , a crítica social é feita de uma forma diferente, quase que deixando as conclusões ao próprio leitor. Enfim, muito bom mas muito pesado, tenham em mente isso, e não vou deixar o início marcado como spoiler pq acho importante ressaltar

naju's review against another edition

3.0

 É um livro incrivelmente importante, de difícil leitura. Não consegui ler por completo. Foram chegando partes aonde eram descritas violências sexuais explícitas e tive que parar. Procurei um resumo/resenha de vídeo, pois não queria perder o conteúdo importante da leitura.
