Considering the theme (the English title kind of gives it away comparing with the more subtle French original one) and the author himself (we all know what de Sade was famous and judged for) I thought this book would shock me much more than it did ( I bought it to challenge myself). But then if we remind ourselves how the late XVIII century (early XIX century) literature is, it's not with surprise that even the most outrageous acts are told with such lightness and elegance. I enjoyed this book, specially its pace, and ended up reading it in a couple of hours because of all the tragic innuendo towards the middle.
