I'm about 1/2 to 2/3 way through "Big Driver" and I'm not sure that I can finish it. I've had a hard time getting over the nature of the story. I'm sure that it ends well, as well as it can, but it bothers me. Am I the only one who feels this way? I'm sure that Tess kills the Big Driver (can't remember his name off the top of my head) in some fitting horrific way, but still.....

And before someone says that "a writer that brings out these feeling in others just shows how well it's written" or "it's a great reflection on how the writer can bring the characters to life" I get that. It's just the nature of the story. Yes he puts a face on rape from the victim stand point. It's just not what I expect from SK. I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself completely.......
