Erotic novels don't interest me; this book is not in my preference.

Thank you for your review and for getting through the book in general, since it sounded like quite the challenge. I think you brought up a lot of great points as to why the book scored as low as it did. Personally, if I was tasked with reading a book about characters with little backstory, no unique traits from each other, and badly-written dialogue, I would have had a terrible time making it through. I'm glad I know to stay away from this book now!

Your rating was very well supported with every little detail like why you don't recommend this book. The confusing dialogue speaker would surely frustrate me because I need to read over and over again to really understand who's telling who. The common traits among the female characters are boring for me. This could make me feel the story is unreal because each person has a unique character. Thanks for the detailed and honest review.

This book is disturbing in so many ways I read the sample and it was uncomfortable reading it. Now I'm reading about the errors and the "missing" or incomplete storyline as if the disturbing plot is not torturous enough. I will be skipping this one. Thanks for the review

As always I appreciate the OBC reviews, and the candor of the reviewers. I don't read erotica but I can see the pull for it in this plot. However, your review confirmed what I already considered. Thank you for your honesty. Again, much appreciated.

The review was correct in that the writing does need some help. This is not a book I would read anyway with what subject matter is discussed. To the author's credit, he does warn candidly in the beginning what kind of themes are in the story.

I do not think I would have been able to finish a book with such strange writing and undeveloped characters. Thanks for the review!

Good review. I enjoy reading erotic romances, but the errors you pointed out made me re-think read it. The storyline sounds intriguing, I am truly torn. :eusa-think:

As I read this review I realize there is a lot of work that goes into writing, I hope I don't forget what I've learnt here.

Thank you for your review, I am sorry you had a hard time reading it. From this review and from what I have read by others I am divided. I will give it a try.

This is quite a review, as I've read another one but with a high rating. I agree that it would be so much confusing if the dialogue is poorly written and the characters are not well-described. I won't be reading my copy for now but I guess I'm not deleting just in case I changed my mind and sample a few pages before I judge the book myself. Thanks for the honest opinion of this book.

:techie-studyinggray: I like reading books but when I saw the cover page I feel errotic .I don't like the cover page and also don't like the topic.Topic is not my taste..but I read 2 page which I analysis the book easily that there is no strong story about it and there is also a missing words, not proper described the character and dialogue..there is also a mistake in making sentence ,not proper punctuation .don't know where the sentence start. :| its my point of view about the book but everyone has different taste and likeness.you must read it if u have interested in these topic.
