The other day, I was idly rummaging through some computer games and found some kind of deluxe edition of The Witcher (the first one). Inside, there was the game, an expansion pack, a world map (I love these things), some additional materials, and a booklet with a short story (actually, with the first chapter of the first book). I started reading it while the game was installing, and I couldn't put it down. It's very interesting. Now I'm reading the whole book.
Only, in the book, an erotic scene is described before the first chapter. Why?< Why does the book have to start with that?< In my opinion, this is not at all what is needed to attract the reader's attention; after all, this is a fantasy saga, not a collection of erotic stories.
But otherwise, it's very interesting.
And the game is excellent. It's incredibly atmospheric.
There's too much of some kind of pathetic gloom about destiny, about some boring, deeply philosophical nonsense. For me, this is simply nonsense.
There's too much pornography. I don't like erotic scenes in books, and here they are crammed in every two pages.
