Book Reviews of Broken Prey
Book Review: A gal's review of "Broken Prey"
Summary: 2 Stars
A crime-mystery, but Jeffery Deaver has set the bar very high, and John Sandford doesn't quite measure up. The characters are flat and dull, and apparently they don't know that over 95% of male rapes are committed by HETEROsexual men, NOT homosexual ones. And this ****ing book can't seem to get off the "gay" thing after a male murder victim is found to have been raped before his death. $%^&* It just irritates the **** out of me. It's already hard enough to get male rape victims to come forward, and the whole "if you are a man and you got raped, you must be gay" doesn't help one bit. And as I said before, well over 90% of the RAPISTS are heterosexual. Rape is about power and domination, not about sex.
Do your homework next time, John Sandford.
Eventually, though very slowly, the book starts to redeem itself. But the characters are rather flat. I guess I'm spoiled on Jeffery Deaver's incredibly complex characters.
Not a terrible book, and I'm sure many people love it, but it's just not my cup of tea.
