Meh it's not a problem for most people. I mean you say "kids have sex" people are going to throw a fit but in context it makes sense and isn't that graphic or exploitative in its execution.

[(Anonymous)]

I knew about the scene before I read the book. Maybe the warning helped, but it was definitely less squicky than I was bracing for, a lot less glorified as anything that kids should do than people might have you think (I mean, Bill and Beverly are pretty appalled when they first remember that it happened). I wouldn't exactly try to talk anybody out of being disgusted by it but it's very predictable that of course by and large people make a much bigger deal about that scene than they do about children getting beheaded or all the domestic/sexual abuse in the rest of the book.

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly. The bit where the bully suffocates his little brother is far worse IMO but no one talks about that.

[luxshine]

gah, that whole chapter explaining how Patrick's mind worked and how he killed his baby brother and the slugs... ugh...
That's the part of the book I skip every time I read it.

[(Anonymous)]

Same here, I usually skip that as well. Really disturbed me more than anything else in the book.

It's not so much that it's squicky as it's stupid. It doesn't disgust me; it enrages me that such a good book has to end so ridiculously.

[(Anonymous)]

for me, it wasn't their young age that squicked me out. but more that beverly was being passed around like an object in order to "strengthen" their bond. idk it just came across as really creepy to me. especially knowing that a full-grown man wrote it. D:

I *strongly* disagree. It's disgusting. I've read Shit several times, I know the scene well--it is not justified, it doesn't make sense, it's nothing but awful, exploitative garbage. Come on, at one point SK describes how much bigger Ben is than the others--and how Beverly can tell! Just awful.

If you think a girl of 11 having sex with six boys--her friends no less--"makes sense" in context, or could ever be anything but horrific, I don't know what to say except that is really messed up. No child who isn't profoundly abused would *ever* suggest that, and the book makes the point that Beverly is NOT sexually abused by her father (per the conversation with her mother).

[(Anonymous)]

I have difficulty taking anyone seriously who takes a name and adds letters to it in order to turn it into a juvenile insult.

Also, why on earth did you read the book multiple times?

[(Anonymous)]

Why are you such a prude?

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, really?

[(Anonymous)]

Beverly was still very much abused by her father. Shit was fucked up.
