Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was crazy to read. Like others, I wish it's been less graphic, but I still thought it also seemed appropriate for the mind of the character we were in. It's a real testament to Nutting's writing that she was able to write something like this, and it made me think a lot of a neighbor of mine who was arrested for CP when I was 12. I think this book would be helpful for a lot of people who don't think that women pedophiles are as bad as men pedophiles, because reading through the main characters thoughts during this was incredibly revolting. A hard book to stomach, and definitely very adult. Do not read this without warnings first.
