The tenth circle

recently finished reading this book by jodi picoult. really interesting book. there are many twists to the story. basically it is about a 14 yr old girl getting raped by her ex boyfriend. and well how her father protect her. and a spoiler, the ex boyfriend somehow die. he committed suicide or so it seems.

well the book was interesting. because there is a lot of lies and deception fr the 14 yr old girl. the girl was trying to win her ex boyfriend back, and she was kind of behaving like a slut, but then she accused him of rape. i don't really know how to explain this, to me the girl was raped, no matter how she behaved. the book described her trauma really well, so i felt sympathetic for the girl. it really makes me think... how could anyone blame the victims for being sexually harassed.

i read a article in the new paper yesterday. it was kind of an opinion page. the writer was disagreeing with rules fr our neighboring country about girls dressing too little inviting rapes. apparently, some govt members of the neighbour country blame the victims for inviting rape. seriously it is ridiculous. how could anyone blame the victim. it is saying. u live in a big house so u r inviting me to rob your house, so if i rob your house, it is ur fault not mine. but well maybe we don't live in e other country so we don't know their cultures or values and well should not comment on that. personally, i think it is ridiculous.

anyway good book can go read. hmm.. but the story is a little slow. the plot takes time to develop. so have patience.
