Book Reviews of The 120 Days of Sodom and Other Writings
Book Review: Devastatingly poignant---- a Masterpiece of Literature
Summary: 5 Stars
Many have said that the 120 Days of Sodom is a disgusting work, full of nothing but sado-masochism and torture. Though the latter may be true, one must look at this work objectively, and realize that it is a blatant statement against Fascism, and all the horror of what happens when absolute power is allowed to corrupt absolutely. I've finished this book with nothing but utter respect for de Sade. I have never been so horrified, disgusted, and left with such a cold conscience from reading a book, but this one has achieved what I assume it was meant to achieve. It is a masterpiece. And for those with an open mind, who are not arroused by such filthy things as the abuse of children and the eating of human waste, but are disgusted with such things, this would be highly recommended to read and ponder about.
