I have a new personal policy: if you take the time to describe violent and repeated rape, and it seems to be an attempt to "liven it up" or "add interest" rather than directly necessary to your explanation of the topic at hand, then I stop reading your book. A moment's thought would tell you that some readers will be unable to read this anecdote without pain, and although I'm not among them, I'm not inclined to read pop science written by thoughtless people.
