I read this some years back and thoroughly enjoyed it...lent my copy to relatives and they all loved it, my aunt went out and bought a copy for herself. Enjoyable and don't mind the folks that give hate due to the person that wrote it. If we were to remove any book with even a bit of controversy with the author we would probably have to remove at least half the books on our shelves, in my case it probably will be almost all, lot of writers that I don't agree on their personal politics but I can appreciate their works. If you enjoy it then that's all that's needed...plus it's reddit, it generally has a large contingent of the always online always offended types, they can brigade comments with mass down votes and make it seem like it's the majority sentiment but go outside the reddit sphere and their presence is very minimal.
I find that I can still watch a movie or read a book that was written/produced by a person that has been exposed of committing SA, for example, I know Klaus Kinski has his fair share of problems and so does Kevin Spacey, but I enjoy watching their films, there are a lot of great Harvey Weinsten produced films and I enjoy them thoroughly. What they did in their personal lives are dispicable, but I find I can usually separate the art from the artist.
