The sex scenarios if reduced would make it a good book to read . This is because a book should have as many readers as possible . When one act is repeated so many times it creates monotony.

Yes, there is another book (maybe more?) after this one. So, hopefully the incomplete ending will make more sense for you if you decide to read the next one.powergirl wrote:An interesting and entertaining book about future,technology,trip,human relationships.But i dis not like the end of story.It seemed to me like it was incomplete.I expect it would be vol2 for continuing the story.What happened to each character?

Using "Identity Crisis" as a description for this book is absolutely perfect! The plot and all the cool sci-fi stuff definitely got lost.Miriam Molina wrote:I do not recommend this book at all. Jennifer had an identity crisis, and so did the book. The sci-fi part had some excitement but it was drowned by all the sex, technical jargon and unlimited aloha's. The detailed sexual encounters were totally unnecessary. I can give the book only 1 out of 4 stars.

It truly is a shame that the plot and science fiction excitement got lost. The novel did seem to have potential at first.Shelle wrote:Using "Identity Crisis" as a description for this book is absolutely perfect!

Future is always exciting and can be interesting when explained creatively.Moshood Habeeb wrote:A book that looked into the future creating a vivid picture that illuminates the myopic view we have about advancement in science and technology.

I agree with you that the second half was mainly unbelievable sexual encounters. This isn’t a typical science fiction novel, in my opinion. It’s too bad the author strayed from the expected format. I think less people would have had an unfavorable opinion if the book were written for another genre.ashley_claire wrote:I gave it 1 out of 4 stars. I really struggled to find anything that I liked about this book. I didn't think it was very well written and a lot of the science and history subject matter just seemed to drag on way too much. The second half of the book is mainly made up of completely unbelievable sexual encounters where everyone Jennifer meets wants to have sex with not only her, but her partner as well. The dialogue is robotic. Jennifer being from another century and not knowing the jargon or dialect of the time she travels to explains some of this, but why do none of the other characters speak in easy conversational tones?
This book clearly wasn't my cup of tea and I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

It’s too bad. The story held so much potential!BoyLazy wrote:Definitely.. all are disappointed just because they were promised one type of genre which was just the first half.

It seems to be the consensus that the sexual encounters were the least liked parts of the book.Reviewer Book wrote:I guess what I liked most in this novel would be the setting. I probably least enjoyed the ill-placed sexual encounters.
