Yes! This is exactly how I feel about this book! I went into it knowing that it contained explicit sex scenes but I was still surprised at how gratuitously graphic it turned out to be. I raised a question in one of the forums whether this was 50 Shades of Grey in a different skin, but I was told that it was not. I don't see much difference at the moment because although there appears to be more substance in 30th Century, the sexual material took over and just drove the plot.It seemed like the book struggled to understand its own identity at times.
I think you gave this book a fair review, and I think you're right in saying that this is going to be incredibly polarizing. For me though, I'm just really glad that I didn't pay any money for the book.

The premise of this book is very interesting. The main character, Jennifer, lives in the future where the fate of humanity is at stake because of conflict with beings called "syndos". Therefore, she must send a team of people 300 years back to the past to a period in time where they can correct the "syndos" main's design fault. At the same time, Jennifer travels back to 2015 and that is where most of the plot unfolds. She initially arrives at an island and then soon meets people from the 21st century and develops relationships. A lot of these relationships become sexual in nature and we see the main character face challenges related to people's believes in this century.
Overall the book was ok, although I love reading about time-travel and sci-fi this book did not held my interest as much as other books in the same genre. There were pictures inserted throughout the book, these pictures depicted maps, the main character, and other related information. I think the book could have been better without these pictures as they did not added to my reading experience but in fact distracted me from it.
