 Disturbing "theme" in AFFC
Is it just me or are some of you disturbed by the abundance of rapings, molestations, strong sexual content and language of AFFC? I'm not trying to be "holier than thou" and quite frankly, I've very much enjoyed Martin's brand of fantasy - I like some grit and vulgarity in fantasy literature. But, I think he went too far over the top in AFFC, much more so than in the first three books. Instead of using sex and sexual language to spice things up a bit, Martin unleashed a deluge of vulgarity that, to me, gives the impression of a young writer wishing to shock his audience.
I just think such "writing" is unnecessary to the storyline.
Thoughts, anyone?
