My mom is a very prolific reader and it was hanging around the house. I'm sorry that the movie was only mediocre, and the book itself - I didn't think it was the best written thing, but the story? It freaked me out. I really had trouble with it. This whole idea also reminds me of the kind of off-color trilogy Anne Rice did under a pseudonym about women being sexually enslaved more or less to men - the Beauty trilogy or something - kind of soft porn I think they were considered. Also very disturbing, not titillating to me, though I'm sure others found them to be, mostly because of the oppressive and one-way oppressive nature of the relationships she portrays. Very, very worrisome - the messages that will get sent to younger and younger generations if these philosophies are adopted. Betty Friedan must be turning in her grave, God rest her soul.
