The writing quality is very poor. As-you-know-bob dialogue, narrated emotions, and cliché sex scenes make this a painful read. The science is wildly inaccurate (e.g. windstorms on a low-gravity rock). The sex scenes are just as unrealistic--from any perspective.

I salute your willingness to read this so that I don't have to.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I felt it was important not to judge a book by its cover (or its title). In this case, though, it managed to be worse than what I was expecting.
ReplyDeleteOn the bright side, the human and the alien don't end up fighting or killing each other. They find a common interest and become good friends. :-)
