happy birthday!

Happy birthday, 7j! May your day be just as wonderful as you are!

Izzy and Eve, by Neal Drinnan

Drinnan won the Lambda Award for this book last year in the category of sci fi, fantasy, and horror. I was delighted to be able to grab it on paperbackswap. I really enjoyed the beginning. I found the characters appealing and believable, and I liked the theme of sex and spirituality that runs through the book. However, I got bogged down in the middle. I found it slow, and the switching back and forth between the two main characters, multiple times per chapter, generally just as something interesting is about to happen, frustrated me. The end of the book got a bit more interesting, but not enough to redeem the middle. I'm not really sure why this won the Lammie. I got through it, but only just. Two stars.

This book is from the collection. I am happy that I finished it, as now I can sell it at my women's group tag sale at the flea. Hopefully someone else will enjoy it more than I did.
