Why aren't there some warnings that is has dark subject matter, torture, rape and violence to women? I assumed that it would skirt around some issues... You know it's happening, but it's not really detailed. But, that's not the case. There is some really touchy subject matter in this book and it may not appeal to everyone. I think there needs to be a warning to just people know.

If you are too sensitive to read something graphic, you can always read reviews before starting any book. That's what reviews are for, to give you an idea of what the story is about and other people's reactions to it. If the reviews indicate the book will not be to your taste, don't buy it, don't check it out from a library, don't borrow it from a friend.

Most people have access to a computer these days. You can search for almost any book here on Goodreads. That will tell you all you need to know. Goodreads even has rating, though not for specific issues, but reading a few will give you plenty of warning. :)(less)
