Persephone was irritating as all hell, but I loved everyone else. An interesting take on the whole myth.

I never hate read anything, but by 50% into this book and I hated everything about it. How did this book become such critical acclaim for essentially being nothing more than sexual torture and rape porn? The one redeeming factor is nothing is explicit. Thank God for small miracle, right? That said, I liked Surreal. And maybe Cook. Daemon can get shaved then broken.
