Reviews

[Dan Braun · Rating 5 out of 5]

A new Anthony. Still quite childish, but deals with sex. I enjoyed it quite thoroughly.

[Hazel · Rating 2 out of 5]

Warning book contains: pedophilia, underage sex, rape, ovipositing, eugenics, stereotypical gender and sex roles.

This book wasn't particularly exciting overall. Progression of the story line was very slow with only occasional moments of excitement. Most of it was a spread out slog with intervening stories overburdened with sex.

[Dan · Rating 2 out of 5]

While the main storyline is good like others have said he concentrates way way too much on sex and the fact this world seems to use sex as their main bartering item. IMO this fixation on this aspect lowers quality of the main story....
