I felt a lot of different things and I didn’t expect pity for a pedophile to be one of them.

entropyseeker's review against another edition

slow-paced

3.0

I don't even know what to rate this, it certainly made me immensely uncomfortable and there were often times where the author went on a ramble. I understand the purpose of this book, I just don't know that I needed to read it to get that insight.

Es war eher belastend für mich, 500 Seiten lang mit einem pädophilen Icherzähler zu verbringen. Ich habe so eine Ausgabe in der in der Mitte Filmfotos mit Texten abgebildet sind: Entweder die Texte sind völliger Quatsch oder die Verfilmung hat nur wenig mit dem Buch zu tun (werde ich vielleicht nie erfahren da mich der Film nicht sehr reizt;))…

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.
