Contrary to what many other reviews here are saying, this book does not promote sexual abuse of children. It actually does the opposite: it takes a critical look at how our society treats pedophiles (and in particular non-offending pedophiles, i.e. people with an attraction to minors who do not act on these attractions) and asks the question whether it achieves its intended goals. It does so through interviews with minor-attracted people, investigating what they struggle with and how they manage to avoid acting on their feelings. I found the book gives a surprisingly level-headed view on a very touchy topic and manages to show empathy for a much maligned group of people without attempting to justify actual abuse. If you can put aside your prejudices, this book is very much worth reading in full.
