I found the book to be too sexually violent. I have no trouble with
violence as such but when it's so intertwined with sex I find that
offensive. Give me Pulp Fiction any day. I *loved* the humor. And the rape
scene didn't bother me.
MarkS. taped the book from his CD for me. I haven't seen it in print or in
audiobook (taped) format.
