Hi, after reading your reactions to my post and some other reviews,
I feel myself like that guy who sees "gold" where everyone else see(s)? "lead". I regret the fact of using the word " recomendation", because it is based on a very personal point of view. I shouldn't have used this.

I agree that the erotic scenes aren't very spicy, but it's my understanding that this book is not an erotic literature, but an attempt to underline the neurotic peculiarities of each character involved in the story, and not their sexual performance or personal background. That's exactly what called my attention to this book, but I have to agree that it could be interpreted by some readers as something in between a silly platonic romance and an erotic tale.

Remember the fact that it was in the NY Times bestesellers list. Do you really think that it was a commercial maneuvering?

Anyway, it's not my purpose to change your opinion, but just a way to give consistency to my review.

Have a very nice day all of you.
