Horns

Say whatever you want. I loved it. I loved the theological ideas, as a recovering ex-Conservative Christian; I loved the tragedy. I loved the (perhaps unintentional) ideas of a woman's own sexual agency, about how men view women; in particular, our protagonist and our antagonist. Neither are perfect–the antagonist is a racist, sexist, nasty, evil, cruel, psychopathic freak, and he terrified me. I found him to be fairly realistic, if a bit extreme in his case. But I digress. The two main males suffer from viewing Merrin in the virgin/whore dichotomy, and the book seems to be aware of this. And even though the reader never gets HER p.o.v. (which seems to be part of the point), she is a fleshed-out character whose personality comes through despite the male view of her.

Also, I grew up in NH, and this...was a little too close to home, perhaps?

My main problem–fewer animal deaths, please. Sniffle.

Now, I am so ready for the movie.
