It happened again a week ago with "Fourrure", the first book of Adelaide de Clermont-Tonnerre, that had very good critics in France . It was on the run for some of the Grand Prix Littéraire, and the plot seemed very interesting, so I bought it (and e-books are more expensive than paperbacks or even hardbacks in France ). Good beginning, but then, at about a third, there comes the pedophile scene (never mentioned in any reviews). I could not get past that.

I am so fed up of this. Aren't there any creative writers anymore, are there only crimes against children left to draw and keep a reader ??? Plus, how sick is the world that those are the things people would want to read about ?
