Y'know, this is probably really, really sick of me, but I would love to see a bunch of survivors of rape and molest actually confront LKH on her portrayal of rape and molestation. It's a very sick fantasy of mine, I'll admit. I don't want to cause any bad memories for those brave women (and men) who survived this, but a part of me would actually go to a signing if I knew that this would be addressed. Of everything in the books (bad writing, boring sex, Mary Sue), it's the blatent disreguard for the reality of rape and molestation, and the over use of it as a supposed plot device, that really chafes me the most. As far as i know, LKH hasn't been questioned on this aspect yet.
