I enjoyed reading this novel about such a serious topic that doesn't get much attention in our media. I think this is an issue that is global and our government touches on it without really going into detail. Unlike some of the others that have left reviews, I was not offended by the graphic nature of the sex/rape scenes because these were the instances in the novel that really left a visceral impression on me. Some things were amiss for me such as the details of the setting and too many characters. I also felt that the ending could have been better as it seemed a little predictable. I did download Redemption so I guess I will see where this story will go.Product details

Boys For Sale Book 1 A Novel about Human Trafficking edition by Marc Finks Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
I read this book in one night. I found parts of it hard to read to the point that I did a lot of wincing. I almost put it down once, because it was at points very upsetting, not to mention depressing. The evils of humanity at its worst are always hard to look upon.
Having said that - I kept reading because it was important I read it. If children all over the world are bearing the things I had difficulty reading, the least I can do is read and learn of their terrible lives.
(spoiler alert)
I had some problems with character development. It's hard for me to believe that one character would order a child beaten to death and then a short time later decide to become a "good" person and be horrified at the very stuff he was selling. It was a sudden jump and my mind resisted. I understand I am to accept that because things hit home in an awful way, he was rethinking his livelihood and life of crime, but it was hard to swallow. It's also hard to imagine that he would allow the perpetrator of the crime against his family to live even a moment or two after he learned of the molestation. I mean, this guy kills kids routinely.
I do understand the author, in writing this book, seems to be more engaged in raising awareness than in merely telling a story, so I went ahead and gave it three stars because I understand and appreciate the motive.
Unfortunately, I also kept waiting for the events to lead up to what I read in the prologue, but they never did. I guess that is for Book 2, which the author has promised.
Dialogue is handled pretty well, although at times I found it didn't really move the story along much and became a little tiresome. Apart from the awakening and miraculous change of one of the main characters, I also noticed a few more problems. The relationship with the wife, for instance, was unnecessarily mushy, I thought, and she wasn't believable as the professional she was said to be. But it wasn't a major factor to me.
If one doesn't know about anything about child sex slavery and the cruelty and nightmare tactics involved in getting children to cooperate, this book is definitely important as a start to self-education on this topic If previous knowledge, such as research or experience has already raised one's awareness, it's doubtful one will get much satisfaction from reading it
I do have a tiny concern that the details of the sexual acts perpetrated on these boys might be good reading for a pedophile, and think a little less detail in some scenes wouldn't hurt the story. I know the author would be horrified to imagine that could happen, but there's quite a bit of detail, and the same scenes which made me nauseous might be titillating for some sickos.
Once again, as is the case in so many books published on - I don't understand why authors don't get these things edited so the reader isn't distracted by errors, unexplainable statements, events, etc.
But I do not regret reading it.
It is important if it raises consciousness on this extremely unpleasant aspect of the underbelly of humanity.
This book has a good premise but the story fell a little flat. It started out with a prologue that was never re-visited in the book again. Perhaps that will be in the second book. Also, the characters had very little development. You don't know why they ended up in the sex trade other than a veiled reference to coming from poor families. But where? No one knows because the author doesn't reveal locations for any part of the story. There are alot of exotic names -- Tavi, Yuri, Chouji, Vikram -- so it makes the reader assume maybe they are in Asia or a similar country. You also don't really get a sense for what they are feeling while enduring this horrible experience. I thought the author could've gone deeper into that.
What he did go deeper into was the owner's home life (the man who owned the bar the boys worked at). His life seemed very apple pie and normal but it was never explained why he was in the business in the first place. Then he has a change of heart because his son becomes a victim of a predator. He wants to start treating the boys better. Totally unbelievable.
I stayed up all night reading this book because the story sucked me in. The author knows how to write but more details would've made a good book a great book.
Have you ever read a book where you liked a character so much until you found out that person wasn't so great after all? And then you wish for something really horrible happen to that person and it does?
Be careful what you wish for, because in this story that is sadly based on the real world, in every country, probably every state, maybe even your own neighborhood, sometimes those wishes turn deadly nightmares come true, and you never even realized what you've risked by that one wish.
I found myself ashamed of me for thinking, 'Good for ya, you Monster!' even if only a brief moment because I sincerely dreaded the sacrifice that turned out to be punishment or karma or whatever it is you want to call it that was 'payback' for the evil men and women this character sold little children to.
I didn't want to read one more page because it broke my heart, yet because it's so close to my heart, I couldn't put this down.
I wish I had the money for the next book in the series. I'd recommend this book to anyone who honestly loves kids and wants to help them live a life they were never intended to live.
I chose this rating because it made me think about what I know about child slavery, and I hope that others take the time to read this book and get involved in stopping sexual exploitation of minors.
Reading this room the view of the child is heart wrenching. Knowing that the "boss" is someone that no one would even look at as being a pump makes me realize that anyone could be capable of doing this, not just who we would assume does.
I received this book for free, in exchange for my honest opinion. I will be buying book 2.
Take the time to read this, and get involved with helping these children to escape this brutality.
