content: Sorry to do two reviews in a row, but (IMHO) it is the lack of richness, the rehashing of ideas, which detracts from what is otherwise a damned good story.The question is not whether Terry is some sort of perv who gets his kicks by writing about strange sex, because the sex and violence that he includes fits into the world he's created. The worst rape would be if he had created this vibrant, living world but then removed its balls by leaving out the darker side.The question is whether or not Terry can get the series back on track by expanding the original ideas and adding fresh ones.If you don't like sex then avoid books like "Dracula" as well, and if you hate violence, especially the mindless sort, avoid "Hansel and Gretel".
