A review by raincorbyn
The 120 Days of Sodom by Marquis de Sade

2.0

Interesting in how boring it is. Porno that's impossible to be aroused by; shocking material that loses all its shock by monotony, repetition, and being more a spreadsheet than a tale; and satire (I guess) that says, "Oh, you imprison me for indecency? Then I shall write 400pages of peepee poopoo and that'll prove you wrong!"
Look, I don't know that any of us could have written better while imprisoned, but this is one you can safely read the wiki for rather than the whole thing and not miss an experience. Sade's life seems to be more interesting than his work, so far.
