Title: on the topic of restraint
Product review: Better reviewers have identified problems with characterization, plot development and etc that I won't rehash here.I just wanted to comment on the theme of restraint. I may be reading into this too much, but I wonder if I am the only one who interpreted how SM uses the vampires' restraint from drinking human blood despite their inherent nature in craving it, as an analogy for advocating restraint of homosexual behavior? Obviously she is also advocating sexual restraint (before marriage) in general, but I feel like SM also alludes to homosexuality in the way that vampires have no choice that they crave human blood, but that they ultimately have a choice in whether or not to drink human blood despite their inclincations because it is the "moral" thing to do.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
