I have made it to page 124 and so far there have been ten references to sex or women's breasts etc., and there has been one sex scene which would be an x-rated movie if it was played out by actors on screen. It's not just the sex references either that give me pause, but a general feeling that in this book women are mostly seen as sex objects. (less)
