A review by marytrix92
The Juliette Society by Sasha Grey

3.0

First, let’s give credit where it is due: I went in with an open mind and it was really good because it made me see some topics on the book in a different way that would have if I hadn't left my inhibitions at the door. If I’m going to talk just about the way sex is portrait in this book then I can say with conviction that this is an amazing book, it made me look at sex and sexuality in a way that I had never looked before, the author delivers a great argument for these different ways of expressing sexuality and I was absolutely convinced. The narrative and the dialog with the reader are impressive to say the least.

Now, I feel like the author wanted to be unique, not to fit in a specific category but I don't think that worked out well on the book. I couldn’t see where the plot was going and that was a plus because it kept me reading but when I got to end of the book and realized what the whole thing was about I really didn't like it. The book sends mixed signals , by the end it seems that the character regrets all that she has done and is giving us a warning, but that cancels all that she has said about her sexuality and how she has discover herself. It stars as a book about discovering sexuality and uncovering fantasies and ends as a murder mystery.
I wanted to give 5 stars to the book up until the end but then it all just fell thru.
