I always find it surprising how very differently we all react to books (although I shouldn't, because in the abstract I know how true it is that all readers receive differently). I mean, I didn't find the rape scene so awful or graphic and have read much worse (but then I did do that academic book on porn, so I guess my research is to blame for my unsheltered reading). It's the film I can't bring myself to watch because then I'd have to see violence and I find that so much more disturbing than reading about it. I'd still sort of like to rent the movie, though, as I'm very curious about it. <br /><br />Still, I have to admit, it does make the world very interesting to see all the varied reactions a book (or a film for that matter) can solicit - it would be a shame if we all felt the same way about everything!litlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952927245186474480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-52362229043777848312010-08-08T17:30:35.253-04:002010-08-08T17:30:35.253-04:00Krist, guess I'm gonna have to get around to r...Krist, guess I'm gonna have to get around to reading the next two sooner rather than later.<br /><br />Stefanie, I'll be very interested to hear what you think of it.<br /><br />Cam, I'd be in trouble if people expected me to read the books they give me within a week! I'll be interested to hear what you think of it as well.Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-25146052794441405642010-08-08T01:21:15.231-04:002010-08-08T01:21:15.231-04:00It's waiting in a pile of to-be-reads.

Maybe I should unearth them soon before they fall too far down the stack.Anne Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419931136194330529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-12690252486272566762010-08-06T10:17:12.019-04:002010-08-06T10:17:12.019-04:00I haven't read it yet, but I am going to.

I would have taken it with me this morning because I needed a new book to read but I was in a hurry to get out the door and had no time to look for it. Meanwhile Mansfield Park was sitting on my desk, waiting.Stefaniehttp://somanybooksblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-38781866784547449302010-08-05T20:51:21.132-04:002010-08-05T20:51:21.132-04:00I loved it. Yes, it is full of disturbing scenes ...I loved it. Yes, it is full of disturbing scenes and despicable characters, but I feel like Lisbeth is the redeeming figure who makes it all worth reading. And, having read the second and third books, I absolutely love where this series ends up.Kristihttp://kristiholmes.comnoreply@blogger.com
