Title: How a noble theme can be profaned.
Product review: The power of love to heal is indeed a noble theme which has been told and retold countless times. Mr. Helenga does use this as his source of inspiration, it seems, but tacks onto it unnecessarily graphic sexual experiences which add nothing to the content or development of his story. The most disturbing element of their inclusion was not that they were included. Sexual intimacy is a powerful element of the love relationship. However, it was disturbing that Mr. Helenga felt it necessary to be so anatomically detailed and specific. There have been other modern works which touched upon similar ideas, e.g. 'Our Town' or 'The Human Comedy'. Love and death were powerfully connected in these. What they lacked were lurid details deriving from the motto:"Sex sells!"
