Although they do not cause me any disgust due to the context and plot of the book, it is valid to say that there was an exaggerated use of profanity.

The book's high level of profanity did not turn me off, as I looked at the book with a youthful eye, and judging by the content, it shouldn't have been any better.

Yes, the book had profanities but I do not think that would have made me stop reading it because it was an interesting book.

I was not disturbed by the excess profanity in this book, i understand that it was to contribute to the force and strength in this book. But after reading this book i found profane words always ready at the tip of my tongue, looks like I've been influenced.

The profanities and general upsetting really let me down. Because there were so many of them, it was difficult for me to read and didn't allow me to fully enjoy the book. I hardly ever read a chapter without any profanity.

I think that was because of the ages of the characters in the people. It is common knowledge that youths like to use profane words. Also, I have seen a lot of law enforcement people use profane words in a manner that is very offensive. So I think the author was just trying to be as realistic as possible.
