Title: Don't Believe the Hype
Review: I'm taking the time to review this book because I bought it based on the merits of the quotes plastered all over the cover of the paperback. I've never felt so cheated in my life. The characters were cliches who spoke 20th century dialog. Although the sex is described as "spicy," it was as crass as I've ever read outside bonafide pornography. I knew I was in trouble when the heroine turned out to be a red-haired Celt with "special powers," but I made myself finish the book. Even after the heroine dreams about an animal exciting her by licking her breasts. Even though the heroine was "empowered" and no one in the story seemed to realize what time period they inhabited. Even through the climactic breast-feeding scene (warning: no infant is involved). Right up until the end - which was the best part, not because it was good; just because it was finally over.
Is the review positive or negative?
