I really don't like to call people out--after all, we are entitled to our own opinions--but people who don't respect history--even the ugly parts--or who want to revise it really piss me off. Especially when they put a book and/or an author down because of it.Jenny Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12912015732671970679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531601806554006401.post-70025988285346827522016-01-02T12:39:43.312-05:002016-01-02T12:39:43.312-05:00Excellent review!

It's so annoying when a fantastic book is harshly reviewed because it contains an accurate depiction of human behavior during that time in history. I feel like people that complain about a book's sexual content, rape or otherwise, are those that will complain about anything. No one really puts on their big girl panties anymore. It's just easier to say, "oh! I'm so offended." Because an author writes about rape, well, I'm fairly certain it doesn't make one a sexual predator. For some individuals, such as slaves, rape was a daily occurrence. Now, there's someone who should actually be offended! Mary Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133236443875557167noreply@blogger.com
