I did read The Painted Bird and I remember the professor's observing to the class that yes, it was horrifying, but they hadn't been able to put it down, had they? Most of the class agreed. I had to put it down every few pages.

Although I suspect that everything that was said of Kosinski was correct in terms of plagiarism, ghost writers, and the like, I think that the point of the book was to illustrate the theme of man's "inhumanity" to man when societal constraints are lifted. It was meant to horrify for a reason.
