Where does one begin when trying to explain the overwhelming admiration they have for this book.

I loved that I could not only relate to the character on her views on religion, sex, gender roles, and romance, but, also the fact that the author never makes light of the abuse or sexualization of women in this novel.

This leaves you pondering what you would do in Pattyn's place. I couldn't help but root for her despite her turning into a cold stone killer at the end of the novel.

This gives you a better understanding of people in abusive relationships and how it affects those associated with it. It not only showcases different levels of abuse (whether it's sexual, verbal, or physical) but also shows you the raw painful aftermath that the abuse victims face.

This book was brilliantly written and I recommend this to anyone who can stomach it's horrific content of abuse.

Warning: Some animal abuse depicted (0 more)
This movie is really enjoyable if you're looking for something ridiculous to watch. I suppose it's considered "so bad it's good", but I legitimately enjoyed many parts of it and there was a lot of genuine humor.

As a warning, there is some abuse of animals in this film which is difficult to watch. Unfortunately, it's from an era where humane treatment of animals wasn't really considered important.

Can be enjoyed by anyone of any age. It does lightly tread on child neglect/abuse. Mostly magic. Little story filled with magic (as it would) and wonder.
