Review: A bit puritanical, but I loved it anyway

A brilliantly conceived novel that not only fully captures the gender experience, it allows one to feel what it is like to actually BE someone else, seeing the world through the eyes of another. That's the great news.  The sole criticism I have, and I have mixed feelings about even expressing it, is that the book completely avoids the sexual titilation of a gender switch that would have catapulted it to a much more interesting and realistic level (realistic, that is, for a total fantasy).  After all, if one is somehow transported into the  body of a person of the opposite sex, wouldn't it stand to reason that the individual would want to explore at least some aspects of that persons sexuality?  Now come on, how often do you get that chance!  In that sense, I found the book to be a bit puritanical, but I think this must have been by the author's design and  didn't  detract from the entire experience.That said, this was a most enjoyable read and I would heartily recommend it.
