I noticed a reviewer for this book that said she hadn't seen any other reviews written by women, and after completing the book out of sheer bullheadedness I can't say I'm surprised. There is one prominent female character in this book and the way she's written is probably not going to be enjoyable to many real life women (she is constantly described in weird condescending ways, her breasts are a significant focus of early chapters, in the second half she's in near-constant sexual peril for no reason). Other female characters include a dead wife literally no one cares about (not even her husband) and two housekeepers who are sexually assaulted for shock value.

Can't in good conscience recommend this book to anyone.
