Actually I've heard good reviews of it from several very intelligent people. I own it but haven't gotten to reading it yet. Plus, I have to add that while I haven't read the book I'm irritated at the fact that it sounds like the the person who wrote the against it blurb automatically labels anyone who likes the idea of something that doesn't fall into their sexual category as a deviant. I suspect they might label anyone who likes BDSM as a deviant too - lots of objectification there. - Maybe I'm just super sensitive to that word. The book was written by a mormon - I doubt it's any worse than any other love story where the common theme I'm obsessed with you - which basically is any monogamy based love story. "I love you so much I don't even want to look at anyone else." But again, I haven't gotten around to reading the book, I've just had it recommended to me by several people.
