Very inspiring book about what means to be feminist today and why it's still so important. Everything I have always said about being feminist (when I was told that I was the only one to think that, that feminism is not what I was trying to sell them, but it's a bunch of angry women that hate man and consider sex as rape) everything about equality, culture, education - issues that concern men as well as women - everything is in this book. Now I need to translate it and give it to everyone who told me at least once "you are overreacting, it's just a joke!"

I couldn’t finish this book. It was so tedious and slow that I lost interest long before I could build on it. Nothing seems to happen despite everything. Not to mention, I hated reading over and over about “the Beast.” I understand rape is traumatic. It affects you in ways you don’t even realize and you can’t do anything about. However, I felt the author dedicated too much time building on this trauma instead of moving the story.

I may give it another try at a later date, but right now there are many more books able to keep my interest in ways this one couldn’t.

Damn good and entirely satisfying
Every time I read reviews from this movie I always see men saying that they feel kind of sorry for the pedophile(though ultimately got what he deserved) in this movie and it blows my mind, because throughout the entire movie I found myself rooting for Hayley a 14-year-old girl who has taken to hunting down the pedophiles who had something to do with the disappearance rape and murder of another young girl.

Ellen Page plays Hayley so perfect that even through the most graphic scenes she holds this innocence about her that just makes her performance all the more effective.

As someone who is prochoice and not religious, I could have lived without the "God doesn't want you to kill your baby bits". Other than that, the story was pretty riveting. I do wish that Maryanne would have gotten a rape kit done at the hospital. Like many women, she was too afraid and was afraid of having to give her history out to her coworkers (she was a nurse). I was also a little sad that we didn't find out who Emma's father was in the end. I have a sneaking suspicion that it was Barry's child, since he worked so hard to "get rid of the evidence".

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

I have to say, this final book of the Wolfpack Trilogy really wasn't my style. I enjoyed the story and the plot but I just got disgusted with the sex scenes. Honestly, whenever the sex scenes started my face would just get a permanent "ew" look. <spoiler> Beastiality, knotting, and almost wolf rape etc... </spoiler>

I really did like the premise of the book. The plot was semi unique and there were some things in the book that I wasn't able to predict which was refreshing.

Ultimately, the series was interesting but definitely not my favorite.

Exceptional realisation of male rape (2 more)
Tackles hard issues
Helps young people deal with suicide
One of the best shows I’ve ever seen and one I’ll show my future children
This show teaches you it’s okay not to be okay. It shows you that life goes on, it shows you how to cope with grief, it enables people to be more sympathetic. This is one of the best, most touching shows I’ve ever seen. As someone with a parent who has tried to commit suicide what I don’t think the shows done has made people idealise suicide if anything it shows people the effects suicide causes.
