A man who knows what he wants and goes after it. And what he wants is Amy. Refusing to take "no" as an answer, he sweeps her into a passionate affair, pushing her to her erotic limits. He wants to possess her. He makes her want to be possessed. Liam demands everything from her, accepting nothing less.

Lewis was fond of humorously remarking that the usual enemies of escape were jailers [9] [10] and considered that, used in moderation, escapism could serve both to refresh and to expand the imaginative powers.

[12] [13] Terry Pratchett considered that the twentieth century had seen the development over time of a more positive view of escapist literature. [14] Apart from literature, music and video games have been seen and valued as artistic media of escape, too.
