Richard Adams

Random House Value Publishing, 1986

Bollocks to B.S.

+ A 1000+ Page Epic about a Hot Young Girl
+ provocative book by a great writer and social theorist

Yes, Adams plays with the S&M elements a bit too much for my taste. Yes it is too long. But Adam's way with words -his ability to ...
