Painful read.

Extremely dense, gratuitous sex scenes which focus heavily on violence against women, and not what I thought it would be

It took me about 70 pages to get in, but once I was immersed, what a phenomenal book. At times difficult to follow, but overall a fantastic read that touches on so many persistent societal problems.

cult x, more like cult sex. textbook case of #menwritingwomen, also the absence of consent made me very uncomfortable at times.

i loved the metaphysical lectures, wish the book had stayed that way to the very end. after them the book took an even stranger turn... did i understand anything? no. do i care? also no. am i disturbed? absolutely.

pclairx's review

It is just too long/slow-paced and some scenes ended up being a bit too much (graphic?) for me. The lectures that are throughout the book were hard to get through for me and took up a pretty good chunk of the reading. This book just wasn't giving me what I hoped all around.
