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

3.0

This book is unlike anything I have ever read and probably will ever read. I was simultaneously disgusted turning every page as well as being so fascinated at the mind of sade and how he came up with such horrifying imagery. After a while i became numb to the words and since the book is unfinished it wasnt as captivating as it could be, merely lists of short stories containing explicit activities. I was so interested by the history of this book, and that he wrote this in a month on a long scroll. I dont think i would recommend this book but it is definitely an interesting piece of literature unlike anything else you could ever find.
