Anyone who thinks this is a romance or a comedy has lost their last brain cell. It is well written and witty but it is not fun or romantic. 
Worth the read I just had to take occasional breaks because I got too angry.

The language of this book is some of the most beautiful I have ever read, and the subject matter the most revolting.  This will not be a book you can fly through, you will have to pace yourself, take breaks, and try to refrain from throwing the book across the room in order to get through it.  So why read it at all?  For anyone with an interest in psychology, it's an interesting look into the mind of a mad nymphomaniac.  For anyone with a liking for satire, this book has some surprisingly funny moments.   For anyone with a love of language, there are passages that will make you forget you are reading about pedophilia, and remind you of the power of words.
