Ellen and Aliena saved this book. 

The law catching up with REDACTED was the most unrealistic part in the whole thing, and a fair letdown after everything that had come before. 

Superbly narrated by John Lee.

Glad to finally have this off my TBR and a bit more space on my shelf.

1.0

Das Buch ist spannend geschrieben und ich hatte das Gefühl, einen neuen, realistischen Einblick in das damalige Leben zu bekommen. Die Idee, Charaktere über mehrere Generatione  hinweg zu begleiten hat mir auch gefallen. Trotzdem bin ich nicht so begeistert wie scheinbar viele andere. Es gibt mehrere Stellen, in denen die brutale Vergewaltigung von Minderjährigen bis ins Detail beschrieben wird. Jede Frau bekommt eine detaillierte Beschreibung ihrer Brüste und verhält sich wie ein Klischee, das nur dazu dient, die Fantasien eines Mannes zu befriedigen. Allgemein sind Charaktere nach dem Disney-Prinzip entweder schön und gut, oder böse und hässlich. Leider schaffe ich es selten, ein schlechtes Buch mittendrin  aufzuhören, aber das Bedürfnis die Fortsetzungen zu lesen, habe ich nicht.
