These books are filled with toxic masculinity and sexism. I decided to tap all toxic sentences that I could find. I ended up with 23 taps. It would have been more if I had included repeated remarks. Here are some of the sentences:
- “On the chair sat a MIDGET with a huge head, set directly on disproportionately narrow shoulders”
- “Not really” said the CRIPPLE, smiling.
- “And if you rape any woman, do it on the quiet. Out of sight.”
The writer always finds a way to talk about breasts, nipples, whores, rape and it doesn’t even matter if the individual he describes is a child. He romanticized rape, makes a lot of fatphobic comments and he is insensitive towards handicapped people. These books are problematic and if you didn’t already make the mistake to buy them please refrain from doing so. The story isn’t good enough to make up for it.
