Oh, dear.  I see I'm going to be heading against the wind on this one, but what good is a review unless it's honest?  Life would be boring indeed if we all loved the same thing.The book is very weak on plot, and uses telling almost exclusively instead of showing, and sex is used instead of good storytelling.  I found the whole reason for Noah and Clark separating to be pretty unrealistic, as well as Clark's apologetic reaction, as if it was his fault instead of Noah's.  There's blame flying all over, when it clearly belongs on the head of only one person, although Noah seems to think he can spread that blame around, undoubtedly to assuage his conscience.  What Noah was out doing at age 13, the night he and Clark met for the first time, I also found pretty far-fetched.  Perhaps I'm too naive about 13 year olds, but I don't think so.  The sex scenes were overdone, and I have to admit, I actually found them uninteresting and boring:  too much telling instead of showing again.  I don't think I'll be reading the rest of the series - just not my cup of tea.
