"Memoirs of a Sex Slave" shocked and disturbed me. What is a good piece of writing, telling an excellent story, is spoilt by the perversions that the woman, not only endures, but enjoys. The writer, whom I am sure is a woman, is not doing women any favours here. It is apparent that Elektra can walk away from this insane relationship anytime she likes - yet she chooses to not only embrace perversion and humiliation, inflicted on her by men, she is actually turned on by it. The ending does not vindicate the book - this is not erotica, I think it is pornography. some people might like it but it is definitely not my cup of tea.
Well, well!
ReplyDeleteThat's sort of sweet! It's from someone with such a vanilla mindset that they can't actually believe anyone could enjoy perversion and humiliation. Heh. I was that innocent once ... ;-)
ReplyDeleteBut it's not abusive, and it compliments your writing, so hurrah!
The review amused me, in a strange sort of way, that he/she should take the trouble! And yes, those days of innocence! Seems a long time ago!
ReplyDeleteYou have to wonder, considering the cover, what she was expecting. I could understand her picking up one of my books and being outraged, because my covers don't feature a woman with a collar on, but really... this is funny. It's like a someone going in to Baskin Robins, demanding 3 scoops of dark fudge ripple, and then complaining that it's chocolate.
ReplyDeleteIt was my cup of tea. And quiet well written on top of that. I suppose some people need to stick with Harlequin?
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much for your kind responses. We cannot please everybody -- and this certainly isn't anything I will lose sleep over!
