Wow, I hated pretty much every single character in this book, everyone sucked. Not to mention that the book made me sick to my stomach multiple times. Can’t say I particularly enjoy being in the head of pedophile…
I think the most disturbing part about this read for me, is the fact that there are probably some creepy men out there who do go into teaching, for reasons similar to this book. Absolutely disgusting, and a few of his statements at the end made me physically cringe and audibly gag, like being “tempted by young girls” or whatever.
Definitely had a few things catch me off guard, as most Freida books do, but I also did see a few things coming. One thing I will say, is Freida is obviously good at evoking emotion in me, this book just happens to be hatred and disgust.
