Sigh. 
 I wanted to like this. I really did. Because the premise is great. But mostly I just feel exhausted. 
 Look, I get the use of the graphic language, violence and nudity here. I understand its purpose. But at the same time I struggle with its necessity. And is it really feminism here under the hood? 
 This book has some incredibly feminist messages certainly, but something gets lost in the overall tone of the book. Sure, it condemns what's been done to these women but then turns around and glorifies the violence against them for the sake of the plot. It does this with all its mature content. It's there for the shock value not really to make any sort of commentary. 
 It just falls really flat for me. Especially when I compare it to something like the Wonder Woman movie, another feminist contemporary. I certainly know which way my tastes run anyway, because Bitch Planet feels too bleak, too grimdark to borrow the fantasy term, for me.
