Nadie como el Marqués, un libro ambicioso, vomitivo, lascivo y polémico. Poco recomendado para personas religiosas y sensibles.
Dopo duecento e passa pagine di coprofagia sono stata quasi contenta di leggere i supplizi.
If I see the word ‘lubricious’ one more time...
I’m not a prude, and I’m not afraid of reading controversial works. This was just really boring though. It reads like the fantasy of a 13 year old boy (and that’s doing teenagers a disservice) trying to imagine the most disgusting sex acts they can. I got bored around 100 pages in. I appreciate that the content of the manuscript would have been far more shocking in the 18th century, but in this modern era it really didn’t garner the desired response from me. I’d be intrigued to read the version of the book that may have existed if de Sade had been given the opportunity to edit/reread it. Right now I feel like I know everything I need to from the first 100 pages.

Too intense and too realistic. My curiosity to see how bad it got was not outweighed by my conscience.
Grotesque. I own this now, and it is the only book that I refuse to lend out on principle. It is so horrifying that I will never subject anyone to it again, even if they beg.

People misjudge this book. It's not meant to be arousing to anyone but extreme sadists. Then again, I've read fanfiction that is darker. This book is an exploration of extreme fantasies... And he was a brave man for publishing them.
I dislike this book to an amount that's more disturbing than the book itself. I am not at all a weakling when it comes to gore and disgusting and morally wrong sexual acts in books, but this book was hard to read simply because it was repetitive and the whole time I was hyperaware this was written by a man. This book is a peak example of books you know are written by men based on writing, someone really has to take away that guy's quill. The writing itself is fine, the author does have a decent writing style and can describe things in EXTREME detail, but the narrative itself is just a gross horny man's wet dreams. This book is the definition of shock value, there is truly nothing of sustenance in it his dislike of religion is apparent but beyond that, the point he was trying to make escapes me. Maybe the point was shock value but it's incompleteness and eventual repetitiveness just make him look goofy, like a teenage boy writing gross shit in his diary.
