Okay, so I read this story despite knowing that it was written by the author of "Freeze", a book I wasn't too fond of, and I am sorry to say I didn't like this one too much either. Here's why: First and foremost, like "Freeze", I found this story to be a bit juvenile, seemingly written for the preteen/teen crowd. Secondly, I dislike the author's fascination with the juvenile use of sex in this story; I mean really...two jerk (blank) sessions in one very short story accompanied by ongoing graphic references concerning semen and its various characteristics are a little much, don't you think??? There is the obligatory gore which seems to pervade this genre and, while some authors handle it well, this author overwrites his descriptive prose horribly. In addition, errors and omissions don't help garner higher ratings. Oh well, live and learn...perhaps the best tact for me is to simply stop giving this author other chances for redemption. I'll have to consider that. In the meantime..."SCRUBBING BUBBLES TO THE RESCUE"!
