I read this many years ago. So much for thinking that the Victorians were prudes! lol

DNF...stopped at just over 200 pp in...this guy is a serial rapist. Historically speaking maybe this book is important but otherwise it's just a collection of him forcing his will upon females (and some males as well).

I have a boxed grove press version of this given to me by a born-again who probably didn't want to touch it again.

It's no better or worse than others of its ilk.

By "complete", I mean that I read about a third of it before getting fed up. Boring, repetitive, and unpleasant. The protagonist is an arrogant user of people who doesn't take any responsibility for his actions, nor suffer any consequences from them.

Let me take this bullet for everyone, and say don't bother with this one.
