Sir Apropos Of Nothing

Title: Sir Apropos Of Nothing
Author: Peter David
Book in the Series: Book 1 in the Sir Apropos of Nothing series
Page Number: 6
Scale Of Realistic Detail: 4, there’s not much detail about the sex in the book given until you get to the gross ones. There’s way too much detail given to the rape of his mother and accidentally banging his sister.
Is Anyone Involved A Virgin?: Not in the first bang but there’s a detailed account later of the main character losing his virginity and then of the main love interest losing hers to him.
Is Anyone Involved A Magical Creature?: No. Later on in the book there is a small aside about female harpies having sex with lepers so that’s a thing.
Is It Consensual: Yes. There are later instances of rape in the book (way too many) though.
Is It A Plot Device: The first bang isn’t but oh boy, most of the ones after that are. It’s a weird pattern that almost all of the sex in this book seems pointless and brutal for no reason and then somehow becomes a lynchpin in the plot later.
Kinks Involved: exhibitionism, gang bang, pregnancy, banging next to your mother’s corpse (there’s not a good word for that and it happens twice), interspecies, and some incest to top it all off.
Bangs Per Book: 8
Did You Feel Dirty For Reading This?: Yes, extremely. I have never wanted to punch a main character in the face so much and was actually rooting for more harm to come to him whenever he got his ass kicked. Aside from that this book and the sex and sexuality in it disgusted me. There was a lot of emphasis put on how that main character’s mother was a “whore”, a lot more than was necessary. Probably about the first quarter of the book is dedicated to her sexual history, her getting raped repeatedly, and the main character calling her a whore and being ashamed of her. There is only one female character in the whole book who isn’t shown as being duplicitous or crazy (usually those traits are attached to them through their sexual exploits too which is extra gross) and she’s depicted as a magical out of your reach love interest. This book was not fun or enjoyable, it was gross and full of itself.
