I agree w...Thank you for this very detailed review. I agree with the criticism about the technical quality of he book, however when it comes to BDSM, actually allot of us kinksters like these books, now off course this is not a realistic depiction of BDSM, nor something we see as right, moral or desirable, however for many it is a good fantasy. You see while our real lives are based around consensual activities, that do not mean many of us do not like to fantasize about something else now and again, without that meaning we want to experience it in real life. I like to read the Gor books and fantasize about being kidnapped and raped and abused by tall, handsome aliens, I like to read the Wheel of Time books and fantasize about being captured by a Sul'Dam, hell I even read Sword of Truth and fantasize about being taken as a Mord-Sith pet. That however do not mean that I really want to have a non consensual relationship and be tortured and abused, I want to be in a mutually benefit, consensual, warm and loving BDSM relationship and I am, however that do not mean I do not at time fantasize about being just manhandled and used and the Beauty books speaks to those fantasies, I do not think Rice tries to present the books as a real representation of the BDSM community, and as such the rape and abuse in the books do not bother me, they are meant as bedside reading for kinksters and nothing more.Anja Rebekka Schultzehttp://sites.google.com/site/anjasspookywritings/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930320015749694781.post-36140676066415164182012-12-14T13:50:37.125+11:002012-12-14T13:50:37.125+11:00Yes, it clearly doesn't pay to piss me off LOL...Yes, it clearly doesn't pay to piss me off LOL.
