I come here, (No pun intended), for some innocent enjoyment and what do I get on the last page of chapter 7? ULTRA-VIOLENCE!!
That self-inflicted nutshot is just way too much for this sensitive old pervert. I am still suffering from sympathy pains after seeing that! Why couldn't the author stick to very mild violence, such as disemboweling, skin flaying, eye gouging, broken bones, forced viewing of old Ed Wood films, etc.
Umm... maybe that last example may be a bit too extreme. I wouldn't make my worst enemy watch any of those old movies.
