Is this review or this thread too much of a potential spoiler? I'll go inside to respond>>>> -- KathleenM, 14:04:10 09/17/07 Mon
- Crap! Didn't realize I was on the darned BOTB Board! Forget the spoiler part--LOL! (NT) -- KathleenM, 14:06:59 09/17/07 Mon
It's a male reviewer - so i should have said that I thought HE slammed the gay sex. Sorry (NT) -- GwenM, 14:20:05 09/17/07 Mon
I took it more as a bit of a slam to DG for writing "chick-lit-ish" sex scenes ..... that the reviewer was less-than-impressed with "chick-lit"-type sex scenes no matter WHAT the gender of the people involved. What the reviewer made me thing about was ...... -- navine, 14:26:52 09/17/07 Mon
- I know what you mean- but I think it was written a bit differently for a purpose.--> -- Oleander, 15:01:24 09/17/07 Mon
  - Yes --- you make a lot of sense. And now I can see my thinjking John's inner-musings as somehow more "juvenile" than Claire's or Jamie's isn't really what I meant --- his are more romantical -- and your theory of why DG wrote it that way makes sense to me. Also --- heck --- LJG just may be more of a romantical kind of guy! Why not? (NT) -- navine, 05:20:05 09/18/07 Tue
