Troll: A Love Story

I didn't hate the book but I did hate a lot about it. I dislike in general when books are written from many different points of view, and this one seemed particularly hard to follow because of it. Characters are referred to by several different names so I cant even keep track of whose point of view it was in relation to what they've been a part of in the past.
Plus I got a sick feeling that the only reason the author made the main character, Angel, gay, was to make the leap to bestiality/pedophilia. I found that tacky and ignorant, even though that may not have been the authors intention.
I found the character of Palomita depressing and irrelevant, unless to show that humans are often treated as animals even in the modern day, perhaps hinting that one day trolls will be treated as humans by everyone.
Glad I read it but I have no desire to read anything else by this author.

I like it so far. I'm reading it on my kindle so I don't know what page I'm like 20% in. It seems to jump around a lot, and I am having trouble keeping up with the timing. Did an hour pass? A week? A year? Still, it's got my attention and I'll stick with it.

I hate it when they use the character's first name and then somewhere along the way start using the last name! I have to write down the characters sometimes to keep track of them.
