Plane Books: Child 44 & Empire of the Summer Moon

I get really pissed off about writers playing the “killing children” card but this guy has set an all-time low. I only made to pg 29 and had enough. Fuggit.

21 pages in and I can’t put it down. The writer has a textbook-like style but is somehow still captivating.

UPDATE: Alright, wtf? When he apologized for the graphic brutality I thought the rape and torture would become less if not actually go away but this book is really sickening too. As a child I heard stories of the Indians mutilating there captives but this book is about the worst of them all: the Comanches. I can’t read any more of it. God I feel utterly drained, destroyed. I’m afraid I’ll carry this new load of misery and horror with me forever. Plus now I’m on an 8hr 11min flight with nothing to read. Crapola.
