Complicated
Ugh, I think I'm done with Moore. You'd think the man should be capable to write a SINGLE female character without having her raped and/or tortured, but apparently not. That's just laughable character development.
The plot was interesting in parts, other parts bored me to death, but overall, I just don't get the hype at all. But maybe I was too focused on the rampant sexual violence and misogyny, who knows. I think I'll stick to other writers from now on.
