Not for me. I can only take so much lecturing in a book before it sucks all the fun out of my reading experience. And by that, I don't mean I need happy fun books to enjoy reading, which you can easily see from my favorites shelf (I actually prefer darker reads). The subject matter isn't the problem for me - it's the endless discussing, debating, advice from friends, and therapy that makes up 90% of the book. I feel like the conceptual difficulty of transitioning from an involuntary to a voluntary slave was being drilled into my skull the entire time. And then I never saw him become a voluntary slave, which is what I thought the prompt requested, but ah well. It wasn't badly written, but it wasn't at all what I was hoping for based on the prompt.
