A review by alliey
Daughters of the Dragon by William Andrews
1.0
How do I give this book zero stars?! What is wrong with people that they all love this book?! It’s an old white dude’s wet dream!!!!
He took something disgusting, horrible, and as unimaginable as the Japanese turning young, virgin Korean girls into sex slaves and turned it into an opportunity to write as if it’s some sort of porno or trashy romance novel.
I didn’t read the fine print on the title about comfort women- nor did I even know this had happened. I saw a book in prime reading that had a ton of reviews and high ratings and I downloaded with a small glance at the description. Like how bad could it be? It’ll pass the time. As I started reading I was like okay the writing isn’t great but let’s keep going, read about the two little girls/sisters. And at some point in that now looked at who wrote this?! And saw an old white dude that I guess adopted a Korean baby and decided- hey...Korea’s cool, let me do some research and write a book. Came across comfort women in history and was like ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT. Please god let this be erased from my brain. I saw the writer and said ugh but was interested in what would happen to the sisters and gave it a chance anyway(at this point they had not been sent to “the boot factory” yet- I suspected that there would be some horrible stuff once I read leaving home to go to the boot factory; but, I could never have ever believed that something so highly rated by so many people would be written in such a horrible way. Please save yourself from reading the disgusting fantasy abusive rape trash that this book is.
