sometimes_samantha_reads's review against another edition
I was intrigued by the concept on the back cover but early on it was evident this was not the book for me. Too much casual racism, sexism, and misogyny. It would be one thing if those themes were mentioned and then there was something done about them, but they were just there and did absolutely nothing to advance the plot. Just seemed that they were there for shock value if anything. I wanted to like this books but I couldn't get past the firsg five chapters.

maekay's review against another edition
Didn't finish, beautifully written but author treats female characters horrendously and seems confused about how female sexuality and anatomy works . Summarized as follows: the salt water douche book.
