Nasty story but more realistic than you might imagine
By R. Bradford
I read this a few months ago. It is well written. The issue is the nature of the story. Is it just sensationalist nonsense, or is it exposing an unrevealed truth about our society? Initially I thought the plot rather far fetched and improbable, particularly the cold, calculating manner in which this female teacher plans her campaign of seduction. But I have discovered since that statutory rape of male minors by women is more common than you might think. Whilst virtually no women are prosecuted for this offence in the UK, this is probably because society is in denial about it. In the USA there appears to be an increasing incidence of convictions of women for statutory rape. See for example the web site [...]

Red blooded USA ...
By P. Millar
Celeste has sexual desire for teenage boys - more specifically fourteen year old boys (not quite a child, not quite a man) - and she organises her whole life around this desire. She is essentially a sociopath who will do almost anything to satisfy her lusts.The main bulk of the book concerns her affair (predation?, corruption?) with Jack Patrick - an easily led fourteen year old who eventually takes the encounters with his school teacher more seriously than she does. We are treated to descriptions of their sexual antics and the ways in which Celeste plans the meetings with meticulousness so as to avoid being caught. Near the end of the book she starts an affair with a much more willing boy and this proves to be her downfall (she lets her passions override her logical side).The novel is told from Celeste's point of view and captures her matter of fact way of thinking perfectly (a similar style was used in 'American Psycho') and, because it is from her point of view, there is no moralising, guilt or redemption - she does what she does because she wants to do it, and she doesn't see it as wrong but knows it is against the law. Of course by the end of the book questions will be raised about her actions in the reader's mind - is a female 'abusing' (in the eyes of the law) teenage boys as bad as a male 'abusing' teenage girls? don't some of a teenage boy's fantasies revolve around sexual contact with a good looking female teacher? how come society condemns her actions while it simultaneously surrounds us with images of young, good looking, sexy teenage girls and boys? and are love and sex two quite different things?Of course comparisons with Nabokov's 'Lolita' are obvious but, apart from the subject matter, they couldn't be more different and I think the comparisons are unwarranted. It makes more sense to compare it to the novel 'Lightning Rods' and the writers Charlotte Roche, Chuck Palahniuk, A.M. Homes and Douglas Coupland, it also treads similar ground to Eleanor Catton's 'The Rehearsal' and Emily Maguire's 'Taming the Beast'.If you are looking for a thought provoking read, something ultra-modern or even something which might make you slightly uncomfortable then this could be the book for you.

Compelling but Disturbing Debut
By Angela
This was a deeply disturbing book and due to the subject matter I would find it very hard to even recommend to people (in fact, the few people I told what the book was about give me such a look of derision and disgust that I stopped talking about it). With that said however, I found this book to be utterly compelling and very well written.It is certainly not an easy read, and some of the more graphic sexual scenes do not make for comfortable reading at all considering the age(s) of those involved, but what I found more disturbing than the detailed sexual acts, were the monologues of the protagonist, Celeste. Her thoughts and actions were so predatory and sinister, and I felt more uncomfortable reading these internal thoughts of hers than anything else. Her total lack of compassion and sense of morality just didn't fail to surprise me (her actions directly after the death of Jack's father were particularly disgusting, in my opinion).Despite the subject matter and how deplorable I personally found the actions of Celeste, I still found this debut novel completely fascinating. It put me completely out of my own comfort zone in terms of reading and literature, but I think this is an area that is not tackled enough and I think Nutting has done a sterling job.*An advance reader copy was kindly provided by the publisher through Netgalley*
