This book is disgusting to me. I only finished it because I listened to the audiobook and cannot DNF a book. But this book? Disgusting. The menstrual period drinking scene is the only horror part of this story, the rest of it is an insufferable catholic masturbation session. If I had read it when I was 15, I might have enjoyed it more. Too much of a priest eater to enjoy it now. This was not what I expected when I started the Vampire Chronicles. What the fuck.

If I said I didn't get the body dysphoria I would be lying, though this does remind me of what I felt when I was fully with an eating disorder.
That part of the book was fun, however after the Book of The Mythological Rape, now comes the book of Lestat Rapes Several People. I'm starting to suspect I won't finish the series, because I probably lack the nuanced understanding of this story.

They said A. Rice was racist and I didn't believe them. I was wrong. Whenever an author tries to tackle world injustice and solve it through fantasy it's 99% times a wild take. Yes, I'm continuing the series because I want to know where it goes; no, I'm not particularly enjoying it.

Approfondimento interessante sul territorio ossolano scritto da un autore che evidentemente ama profondamente la sua terra. Concordo con la critica fatta da un conoscente sulla scelta di rappresentare gli alpeggi come già tema di memoria (diversi alpeggi sono ancora in uso e meritano una riflessione orientata al loro futuro), ma ciò non toglie la poesia agli innumerevoli alpi oramai in disuso e rimboschiti.

This book is really not going to beat the pedophilia allegation. I think I'm done with Rice's pathetic little meow meows. As with the previous book - I think I would have enjoyed this as a teenager. Not anymore.
