 --Below information added approximately a year after original reading-- 
 This is one of those books that you might be tempted to take on for the writing style alone. It was rich, creamy, maybe even frothy and aromatic; it tantalized the senses and the mind simultaneously. Thus it was incongruous in the extreme to be exposed to a tale full of utter debasement. We readers are invited to wallow with our main characters through masochistic degradations. This was the most sexually explicit book I've ever read and all the more troubling because it was artistically gruesome. A+ for imagination and style, F for content.
