Paranormals are low class?
Oct. 6th, 2007 11:39 amAccording to a letter to the editor in the November issue of the Romantic Times Book Review magazine, paranormals are vulgar and low class. Because heroines use the "f-word", the books have graphic love scenes, and the h/h use "vulgar, low-class words to describe various body parts."
Well, color me as vulgar and low-class then, because I would much prefer to read a love scene that involves a pussy and a cock that one between a throbbing manhood and a gentle flower. Gah!
Other random thoughts I had while paging through the copy at the library:
LKH's A Lick of Frost is urban fantasy? Why not just call it the porn that it is? The reviewer gave it a 2 ("problematic, may struggle to finish"), which is amazing, since the average grade seems to be a 4 ("compelling, a page turner").
Rhett Butler's People is due out next month. I'd managed to erase the thought of it from my mind. Some sequels should never be written, and that is one of them. I don't care how great the book may be, telling the story from Rhett's POV removes all the mystery from him; and that was a huge part of his draw both for Scarlett and for (some) readers.
