The most disturbing scene in BM that no one talks about is midway into their trek when they come across a secluded village of peaceful Indians and just massacre them, women and children included. It was described in such detail and you just want it to be over.

I haven't watched the movie, but what disturbs me about the book is the graphic depictions with so little speaking between the characters. All their dialogue could probably fit on 3 or 4 pages, but every one of the 200 pages is nonstop graphic sexual violence. Every page read normalizes the obsession of the characters. The hours I spent reading this were just filled with graphic imagery of blood, metal, and semen mixed into one. I was exhausted.

DescriptionThe Kiss is a memoir by American author Kathryn Harrison. First published in 1997, the memoir details her relationship with her estranged father, which culminated in a sexual affair when they finally met again when she was an adult

This book perfectly describes grooming, and i suggest it to be read by people that have to do with counselling abuse victims
its a true story and it still shocks me after many years of reading it
