A young man must overcome a horrific past in order to release his inner demons in Justin Forest's shocking new novel, Lolita in the Lion's Den or Pre-Tween Juxtaposition.

Glen has fought for years to escape a brutal homelife, one in which he acts as his mother's only friend, and to accept that his father has been molesting his sister for over a decade.

After dropping out of high school and spending years working aimless jobs, Glen finally begins a new chapter when he experiences the thrill of college life. But with that freedom comes disturbing sexual desires and inclinations. Having become increasingly reliant on his own fantasy world, Glen soon finds himself mired in the world of adult pornography and struggling with his attraction to both women and girls.

Haunted by the damage his father's actions wrought on his family and other victims, Glen must come to terms with his admiration for the exact thing his father so actively destroyed.

More relevant than ever in today's hypersexualized world, Lolita in the Lion's Den or Pre-Tween Juxtaposition is an emotionally provocative listen that gets to the heart of some of society's most pressing issues.

3.0 out of 5 stars Meh.

Started OK, but quickly devolved into a preachy mess of guilt-ridden apologetics.
After a while, it's like "We get it, your attraction to young girls grosses you out... It should!" The whole thing frankly comes off like a protracted version of "the Pete Townsend defense" but, at least THIS guy actually WROTE the book, unlike Townsend.

5.0 out of 5 stars ... of sexual abuse of a minor child I understand better than most what the author is saying

As one who was convicted of sexual abuse of a minor child I understand better than most what the author is saying. While my story differs from his in many respects I do understand where he is coming from. I don't share his predilection for young girls but have been with many who did when I was in sex offender treatment. As one who took dancing lessons as a youth and whose sister was part of the dance troupe I know some who attended these recitals paid rapt attention to the female dancers clad in skin tight outfits.

Reads like the random thoughts of a stoner, there's no rhyme or reason to this book, it's extremely boring, written by a very confused man trying to justify his abnormal thoughts. Glad it was free, unfortunately my time isn't though

4.0 out of 5 stars “I may be strange but I hold answers to keep your kids safe, even if you don't like to hear them.”

This book is interesting, educational, funny as hell at times, and quite clever in its observations. The author has a blunt style that I found refreshing. However, the author’s style and candor are not for everyone. Parts of this book hit me square in the heart, and I was filled with sadness. The juxtapositions were quite brilliant, and none of the author’s arguments were lost on me. As a survivor, I could relate. I thought he was too defensive at times, but I could certainly understand why. The hostility and denial for the subjects the author draws out are deeply ingrained in people, but also ridiculous since the blatant proof is right in front of us - the sexualization of children, the horror of sex trafficking, even the radical Mormons who continue to practice polygamy which routinely entails forcible marriage and rape of 12- and 13-year old girls by 75-year-old “prophets.” As a social worker, this book challenges me and other helping professionals to be more real and open to helping all people, not just people we are comfortable around. I’ll end with one of my favorite quotes from the book: “I may be strange to you, but I hold the key to many of the answers that will keep your kids safe, even if you don't like to hear them. The dark world is my world and I have to mental fortitude to lurk there. Good and evil reside in the same place, and good can come from bad. In fact, that is the only way good happens. The Resurrection can only follow the Crucifixion."

I really tried to make it through this book. I just did not understand what the author was trying to convey.
I normally read a book within a day or two, but this one I kept putting it down and thinking when will it get better.
The author was all over the place. Jumping back and forth between the present and the past.
The story did not flow and I just could not figure out what point he was trying to make other than he loved all females of all ages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good But Disturbing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 6, 2015
Verified Purchase
In many ways this a deeply disturbing book. It challenges the reader to confront their own approach to female sexuality and its place in society. It is not an easy read and although marked as fiction, it has admitted strong biographical elements. It does not read as fiction, more a memoir mixed with philosophising.

The arguments made are strong and challenging and some readers may object on principle but if you believe in freedom of speech (regardless of home nationality) then there will be something to learn. I would like to write a longer dissertation but would probably fall foul of some group who would disagree with the concepts even being discussed. My self-censorship will add to the mix.
