    JFC if good prose is enough to make you okay with pesophilia maybe you weren’t that far away from it in the first place

      Crime novels about murders are a very popular type of book. Do you think that people read them because they’d enjoy watching murder in real life?

      Also, the writing seriously is that good. I’d have completed the book if it was about watching paint dry.

        Depends on the person, but in general no. Enjoying the book is fine, but it shouldn’t make you okay with the morally wrong concepts it presents. I don’t read a murder mystery and come out of it thinking that murder is good, just like you shouldn’t come out of fight club thinking fight clubs are good.
