Opinion:
Nathan Pettijohn has quite the creative mind to write this novel entitled Public Opinion. He has written a suspenseful, yet erotic story. In my opinion, he does use profanity a little much, but I also understand that in some adult novels the use of swear words are necessary. I do understand that this is a novel set in Los Angeles and New Orleans and that most of the characters are a part of the motion picture industry where this kind of language in the area of X-rated movies is common. The author just wanted to stay true to that industry. Public Opinion is an adult novel of profanity, sex, drugs and various crimes.
