I had wanted to read this book for so long and...oh dear. I don't go on to goodreads to bash books. It is simply that I am not the ideal reader for this book. I have pet peeves (like anybody else) and can't get behind the story line of 'man falsely accused of ...' by a woman. It is a long loved storyline in books, TV and Hollywood and the stats don't back it up. If these storylines were to believed, these things happen all the time. In actual fact, it is a rare occurrence. Normally a woman really does have the event happen to her. Nobody will believe her. It would be rare there would be enough evidence or belief for it to go to trial. And getting her on the stand? That too almost never happens. And when she does? It is mostly about what a slut/ whore / once had a drink and therefore is easy... I live in the rape capital of the world and thus, I'm really touchy about such things.

It is just a story, I hear you say.

That is true. Thus, you may like enjoy this book very much. (The dog is a lovely dog.) We all have things that drive us nuts, for good reasons or otherwise, and this is one of mine.
