nxclx's review

DNF'd around page 180. The first half was okay at best (there was an over abundance of the word fuck, I'm guessing for shock factor as if it's not on the cover of the book. Regardless, it's over used, and that's coming from someone who uses it daily), but then the second half (at least what I read of it) went off the rails and it seemed extremely self indulgent on the author's part. I understand what he said and the stories, remedies, and statistics, but it came across as tasteless and completely off base of what the book was supposed to be about. Glad I didn't pay for this.

Around halfway he starts going off on tangents about relationships and love, and then around page 180 he starts detailing about how a lesbian feminist in the 1980s had a false memory about a childhood sexual assault and while it might be factual, it's hurtful to CSA survivors. He also seems to have a disdain for women in general.
