Bitch Factor
November 8th, 2006Chris Rogers did a great job on this book, even if it got a bit sappy at the end. We had gotten all three books, this one, Rage Factor and Chill Factor, at the library. Have to tell you, folks, I forced my way through to page 92 of Rage and gave it up. I managed to read the first rape, but the subsequent vigilante rape of the rapist was way too graphic for me. My partner had already read the book and, when I complained about the violence, she warned me that it only got worse. That was all I needed to hear. Didn’t finish the book and have no interest in the third.
As a sort of “by the way, that reminds me,” that’s the reason we both stopped reading Dick Francis. We devoured everything he wrote in the beginning. When the violence and just plain gruesomeness seemed to dominate, we bailed.

I’m like you in that violence of this type makes me sick to my stomach…literally. I cannot watch Walker, Texas Ranger reruns for the same reason. I want to read “gentle” murders…and those that always have a happy ending.

I think that I know what you mean, but can murder ever really be “gentle”?
