Really? I honestly thought there was way too much graphic sex. And it was too bad because otherwise it was pretty good.

Kind of like a fantasy series I like, George R. R. Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire". Sometimes it's a great political fantasy, huge scope, lots of interesting characters. But there are chapters I just can't read because it's all graphic sex.

It's just one of my pet peeves.

Truly, I appreciated the amount of research she put into the books, and it showed in the writing. I could have definitely done without all the sexual aspects, but like with Stephen King novels, I glossed over it to get to the good parts.

Well... I can't speak to the whole series. All I read was Clan of the Cave Bear. I don't remember any graphic sex. Maybe I should re-read it. Perhaps I missed something. :-)

Or perhaps... oh, nevermind. You should see what I wrote here and then thought better of... Dangit. :-)

You say that like it's a bad thing.
