Too dark for me lol. Didn’t realize it was going to be so graphic.

dark
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

geoffreyjen's review against another edition
2.0
Found an English version of this on the web. After reading it for a while, I looked up the reviews. I got interested in this book through the films, or one of them at any rate, althoughI do have an interest in erotic literature. The book, as pointed out by several reviewers, is highly problematic in that it deals with sex between adults and children as young as seven or eight years. The films, all of them, present young women "of acceptable age" - unlike the book, they are not "kiddie porn". The book is apparently considered by some to be an erotic masterpiece. I found nothing erotic about it, even when the ages are upgraded mentally to legal age. The sex is presented in detail, but mechanically, there is very little heart here. The book does provide some details about a way of life that may have some historic interest, although such details are lost among the more sexually explicit descriptions - this is the only reason I gave this book two stars instead of one.
