this was such a torture to finish. the amount of gratuitous violence and rape in this book was more than i could bear, and yet i crawled my way out just to see the point, if there was one. (there wasn’t.)
“She was truly magnificent to behold. As she had never been pregnant, let alone given birth, her breasts were taut and her pert nipples were placed high on her wide areolas.”
“Now that her chest had swelled and puffed like an angry blowfish and her rear had grown even more shapely, nobody could ignore her presence even if she was laboring among women in dirty workclothes. (…) Her young, fresh womb was now desiring the genes of a stronger man. This was the law of reproduction.”
never let men write about women again
