I have read it... but I do admit, that was a while ago... somewhere between my reading of Poe and Shakespeare's complete works... and I was a bit younger.
Maybe I'm due for a reread.
But my recollections leave me with the memory that it wasn't a whole lot more violent than the Torah (Old Testament).
