Title: One more negative vote
Product review: I was hoping to come here and post a review to warn everyone away from this book, but it looks like about two dozen people have beaten me to it. I am an avid sci-fi reader and the description on this book had me excited. Interstellar travel! Alien artifacts! Colonization! These are all subjects that I enjoy the heck out of. But I couldn't get past the very explicit sexual references in this book. And coming from me, a self-professed pervert, this is a resounding denouncement. By page 20, I had been confronted with at least 5 explicit images that would give a trashy romance novel a run for its money. But unlike a romance novel, most of these images were dark, disturbing, and fairly pathological. I'm the last person to want to sensor a book, so if you're into filthy, detailed descriptions of sexual vice, this is the book for you. But if you'd prefer a good story that provokes thought and doesn't rely on shock value, steer clear of this not-so-great book.
