I felt the same way about the rape scene in GWTDT. I was on a long plane flight when I read it and think I would have honestly put it down and never picked it back up, if not for the plane. I am glad that I kept reading, but it amazed me that the book was recommended by everyone when the violence towards women was so disgusting and so pervasive.
Felt exactly the same way. The second book...couldn't make it through though. The violence against women in those books is relentless.
