marjenn 's review for:
The Female of the Species
by Mindy McGinnis
This book blew me away!! It was grittier and darker than I thought it would be, but also with much more depth than I would have guessed. All of the characters are flawed and realistic, and I loved watching them develop over the course of the novel.
It's just so beautifully written and it doesn't sugarcoat issues of rape, violence, torture, and animal cruelty. It's definitely hard to read at times, and I had to fight the urge to skip particularly gruesome passages. But it's not gore-for-gore's-sake; it's vivid and real and true to the human experience. Highly recommended.
