I ordered this book from the library because it was recommended by
Novelist as being something like Lois McMaster Bujold. It was like Bujold's Vorkosigan series - main character has serious physical limitations and others think he's a freak, lots of intrigue and plot twists, some romance. But it wasn't like her in the ways I wanted it to be - it wasn't funny, it was easy to put down, and there wasn't a whole lot of action. Two stars - there was nothing really wrong with it, but nothing stood out, either.
I read parts of
Single No More by Ellen Kreidman out of curiosity. Obviously, I'm not single and haven't been for a long time. It's very straight and marriage-focused. I found much of it to be basic, but it was interesting to think about. I think it's a little more complicated for those of us with freaky sexualities, than for the author's target audience. Sure, you can ask your hairdresser if she knows someone who'd be perfect for you, but what are the chances they like being making love in sausage factories? Or whatever. I don't know - maybe sex isn't as important to most people as it is to me and my sweeties, but it struck me as a potential failing.
