Pros

    Great love story, Love the idea


NOV

2007

If you or your gift recipient love great love stories, this is one, for sure. It is a soaring, larger-than-life love story. It's unusual, interesting and different. It's impossible to put down. I couldn't help but cry at the end, and I am not the type to completely dissolve in tears at any tear-jerker. I don't like any kind of media that just jerk at the heart for cheap thrills, and this one doesn't do that. It doesn't use the standard ol' devices for poignancy. But it does lay it on thick in terms of the sexual scenes. This couple has way more sex than any normal married couple does. And it's fairly graphic. Al-RIGHT, already, they love having sex! I get it! Perhaps it's meant to be that way since the couple's situation is so unusual; but it does off-put a little because it just seems so different than regular people's lives.
I recommend this one if you can put up with the extra sex.
