The 120 Days of Sodom by Marquis de Sade

1.0

Update:
Finished. Nothing changes for my review, did get a little more disturbing towards the end due to the mutilation and deaths. Just thankful I finished it already.

I actually have no idea where the hell I am at the moment in Sodom, I think I'm at day....20+ something. I gave myself a banned book and film challenge, like many others have to see if they can stomach the infamous books and films that have caused some sort of controversy.

I was excited to read a copy of Sodom, purely for the reaction I was gonna get from reading it, so far nothing.

The story itself is dragging on and repeating itself numerous of times. Of course there is disturbing content, language and scenes described but all that doesn't work when your bored out of your mind reading it. And with how the characters speak, which is obviously not our modern lingo and with it's own hidden language such as 'Friggin'-

Spoiler

Hangjob/masturbation etc.

in some ways for myself I really need to concentrate and read with my mind fully into the realm of the book. But with how it's going my mind actually wonders else where while my eyes just read on.
