A Goodreads user asked this question about Outlander (Outlander, #1):
why are people saying Outlander is a rape book?
Christy Awesome premise... until the beatings and the rape and disgustingness. I rarely EVER fail to finish a book. I'm throwing this one away. Miranda Mudd..…moreAwesome premise... until the beatings and the rape and disgustingness. I rarely EVER fail to finish a book. I'm throwing this one away. Miranda Mudd..yes, rape is a big part of the book. The fact that he can beat her and take her against her will and then have her enjoy the rape... it's gross and pornographic. This book had such great potential. I wanted to read a great story. The story disappeared amongst the graphic sex.(less)
