"up to page 92 and the descriptions of the author's sex with young boys has gotten graphic. Well he said he was writing pornography. It's so banal really it's hard to continue. I suspect the Internet that now provides the full spectrum of sexual possibilities has rendered this work to the quaint category." — Oct 20, 2015 11:40AM
