Третья часть нашумевшей приключенческой повести хоть и НЕ изобилует матерными словами с нецензурными выражениями, но также содержит сцены психического, физического и сексуального насилия. Строго 18+
Это самая неприличная, похабная и скандальная книга, когда только выходившая на русском языке. По сравнению с ней "Эдичка" покажется невразумительным детским лепетом! Если Вы так и не прочитали первую и вторую части, то Вам всё равно понравится.
Содержит нецензурную брань.
