Oooooh.

Alex. Just. Alex. Destroyed. Like I always wanted.

I can't believe I felt so compelled to write this, but there was no way I could accept the end of the book as-is. I know how much you like Alex!death-fics, so I figured this would be perfect for you ;-) Glad you liked it.

What did you think of the book?

I really liked the book. It hit many kink buttons, both in a physical and emotional sense. That I came out of the book wanting to *hug* Alex (as opposed to hurt him!) says it all!
I thought it made clever political statements. It was unforgiving of current affairs (2010!) and pretty ruthless with regards to Alex's treatment. Raw and real!

Even though I suspected what was going to happen in several places, I liked the build up of tension towards his kidnapping, and that scene with him on his knees...yeah, it sure did hit the kink buttons! I've got several AU fics in mind (gives new meaning to the phrase 'go fuck yourself').

And AH kept up the tradition of Alex being undressed - this time he wasn't unconscious, but still, it was there. It really makes me wonder about the types of fantasies AH had when he was a teen.

And speaking of the f-word - was it printed in your version? They dashed it out in ours.

It was dashed out.
Don't think they can print that in children's books. It was always "avoided" in Harry Potter as well ...

It was dashed out in the British version as well?? I thought it was because I had the Australian/NZ version...
sorry for randomly butting into a month and half old conversation
