5.0 out of 5 stars An erotic novel by Marquis de Sade
This was the first of Sade's books to be published. The book is about a 12-year-old maiden in her quest for virtue. The book follows her until she is 26. Throughout her life she encounters abuse, hidden under a virtuous mask that lures her. When she seeks refuge and confession in a monastery, she is forced to become a sex-slave to the monks, who subject her to countless...

1.0 out of 5 stars Abridged--Buyer Beware
The Look Inside feature shows that this is abridged, and that somebody has broken it up into chapters. Shun this and shell out a few extra bucks for "Justine, Philosophy in the Bedroom, and Other Writings," which is faithful to Sade's originals.

This was the first of Sade's books to be published. The book is about a 12-year-old maiden in her quest for virtue. The book follows her until she is 26. Throughout her life she encounters abuse, hidden under a virtuous mask that lures her. When she seeks refuge and confession in a monastery, she is forced to become a sex-slave to the monks, who subject her to countless orgies, rapes and other abuses. When she helps a man who was robbed, he takes her his house with promises to marry her, but then forces her to become a sex-slave.

3.0 out of 5 stars Horrid editing, January 20, 2011
By 
This review is from: Justine: or 'Good Conduct Well Chastised' (Paperback)
I am reading this book right now. In many places, but especially chapter 32, there are places where the sentences make zero sense. Obviously the text was chopped up improperly and the book is carelessly edited. Please read this classic, but don't read the Wilder Publication version unless you want to be confused.
