Review: Not For Sensitive Readers: Man's InHumanity in Our Brutal World
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 04 5, 2014
When an author writes a book, there are many authorial decisions that must be made. A big one is the intended audience. A book that will appeal to a broad audience, young and old, rich and poor, man and woman, boy and girl, will surely bring economic success for a book's author. We can point to the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling, for example. Yet when an author knows the book they have written will not appeal to everyone, the best option is to place a clear warning at the front of the book.Author JK Accinni has done exactly that. JK says, in clear, easily understandable language, "Not For Sensitive Readers." This book is not for everyone. It deals with man on his worst behaviour, and it is portrayed in this same light. Let us read the author's warning, and understand her "Caveat Emptor". Caveat emptor, or let the buyer beware, for indeed, you buy this book on your own responsibility. Read this book only if you can deal with violence, abuse, aggression and destruction. J.K. Accinni tells it like it is. I quote her authorial warning, for emphasis: (Quote)Warning*** This series honestly reflects the brutality of our world. If you are a sensitive reader, this is NOT for you.*** Contains violence.***Controversial points of view may be written to enhance the readers experience. The author's goal has been to make the reader think critically and the views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the author. The author would like, however, to help readers realize what detrimental effects we have created for our wildlife.***I give this book five stars because the book will make you think profoundly about the world we live in, its daily human atrocities, and hopefully, begin to live responsibly, not only with our fellow human beings, but also with wildlife.Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofHow to Coach A Debate Team
