## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Brilliant, Funny, Surprising
  

*by ***** on Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2016*

This is a brilliant book, and brilliantly fun to read. Carter analyzes the women in the work of the Marquis de Sade, gleaning remarkable insights into how women survive in a man's world (hint: virtue will get you nowhere). This book is everything that literary criticism should be—surprising, clever, and offering a new way to look at the world around you through the prism of unlikely heroines. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2018*

Ms. Carter was far ahead of her time -- this is at once a classic work but dead on current with contemporary thought and events in modern feminist thought.  A must read for anyone interested in the politics of gender.

    Bad news
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2016*

There is little in the way of analysis of Sade's thought in this book.  As philosophy, or simply as nonfiction, the author presents ideas then contradicts them then rambles on to another topic.  A good chunk of the book is about Hollywood movies.The premise is important.  The execution is not.  The writing style is pedestrian and the vocabulary is too limited.There's no Sade, no Sadeian woman, little exercise, and shallow cultural history.  Surprisingly bad book from a usually very good writer.
