Rose S. (ATraveler2) - reviewed on 1/28/2010 + 67 more book reviews

This is a hard book for me to form an opinion on... or recomend to others. It really is a very good book with a great plot & interesting characters. The problem is there is some sexual sadism scenes/details that I wouldn't want Granny or my straitlaced neighbor read... a bit cringworthy! I was also uninterested by the business dealings part but that is easy to forgive. There is a little confusion with the translations or references in Swedish, but I can also get past that. The "ick" factor was the only detractor.

Also want to note, another reviewer was unhappy with how one of the characters sleeps with more than one of the other characters. I feel that those situations were relevant to the plot and not gratitous. Also to note that it is European. They are not as hung up on morality of consensual sex outside marriage as we are - the characters do discuss moral issues and that is not part of their discussion.
