review 1: This book... Is the best to be ever written in the history.It is dark disturbing and I threw the book away when I reached halfway. I couldn't continue reading. It wasn't what I expected even though I'd read the reviews before picking this up. Later on, I made up my mind to finish this, I hate to put down a book which I have started. I started over all again. And I am very much impressive. One shouldn't take Our man DeSade serious, never take him serious in his writings. He has embraced the darkest side of a human mind, which many of the authors fails/failed do it or even attempt due to the religious/social issues or as is considered as blasphemy. Everyone has a darker side, we all have the "darker side" in our mind. We know "what is right and wrong" although many of us hav... moree contemplated on our thoughts and actions in way that we have considered that as right even though it could be aberrant to others. I'm not saying what was written in this is acceptable or virtuous. NO NO NO!!! It's not and even hard to encapsulate the content. For DeSade, it was virtuous in his own mind and he succeeded. And I succeeded in finishing this great novel. Its one of my achievements in my life. :D Well,writing is an art. Art has no limitations because imaginations of our mind is infinite. Its interesting to reach out to the extreme for exploration or for traversing to the extreme endless minds of ours, but also keep in mind not to take it serious.
review 2: Will you judge me if I give this book a good rating? I found it absolutely fascinating. It's disturbing and dark (not to mention highly scatological) but I laughed at the absurdity of some of the stories, which I hope was the point. If you consider this book from a logical standpoint, there are times it falls apart. However, it's a great peek into a twisted mind. I wish he had been able to finish it - truly finish it, not just notes. less
