anti-ddlg:

I would honestly believe that. The narrator is a disgusting, delusional man who dehumanizes the children as children, and instead turns them into purely sexual beings (nymphets.) And that was only in the first few chapters. 

But, people are strange creatures, and I honestly can no longer imagine a world without that influential book. 

They say it was well written, but clearly not well enough for the author’s message to be heard loud and clear for all the readers to understand.
