It is definitely an intriguing book - different than my usual reading fare. :)<br /><br />And I know what you mean - swearing sometimes seems to be added in just because it's expected. It certainly doesn't enhance the reading experience. Love your example, LOL! <br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791370181970390465.post-2382420417653789812011-09-26T06:18:22.033-05:002011-09-26T06:18:22.033-05:00Great review, Amber.

I've never found those 'cleverly' placed words to be warranted. I mean they don't make the scene, propel the action, build the climax. It almost seems that they are zinged in there because it's expected now. If a book is well-written with a riveting plot I doubt a reader would even notice the absence of a swear word. Can't see someone closing a gripping read and saying, "That was fantastic but the heroine didn't swear enough!"Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.com
