I know someone who got so offended at a particular scene in Neil Gaiman's American Gods that they stopped reading the book. As myself, I couldn't figure out what the big deal was. It was such a minor scene in that novel that it boggled my mind that someone would stop reading because of it.
*blinks*. Huh? What scene would that be?
I mean, the whole thing is pretty intense. There were times I had to put it down and take a break just to get my bearings back. And I didn't like the ending, but that's another subject. But I don't remember any particular scene being more offensive than others.
no subject
