Query: The interesting aspects of this story are overshadowed by superfluous lewdness

I was looking forward to reading this book when I read the other reviews. However, the parts of this story which make it interesting- the descriptions of life during the war, survival, and the discovery of the main character's history - take a backseat to the authors apparent need to repeatedly dive into repeated graphic rape and sex scenes. This happens even at times when the story is focused on non-sexual events. The events which occupy most of the author's summary actually occur within the very beginning and very end of this book, almost appearing to be an afterthought. The middle 80% is occupied by a broken record of disturbing and unproductive sex scenes where nothing really happens.
