I started reading this several months ago but stopped because of the slow pace of the first 30 days. Sade was clearly bored of the weak first fetishes and dropped the 2nd and 3rd months and went straight to the last month, the most extreme. This helped me finish the book in a few days. It's definitely not for normal people, I don't really like gore but I'm open to reading about it. Near the end you feel a bit desensitized because of the overused torture methods and a bit of detachment tl the characters due to the book being incomplete. For someone who read visual novels like Starless and Euphoria when young I feel at home in a sense. It was nice finally being able to meet the father of Sadism. I would rate it a 7/10 book
