It's funny -- if you took out the sex and violence (and there is a LOT of sex and violence), as well as the mostly redundant prequel story (unless you are reading it primarily for the BDSM-style sexy-times, then not redundant at all), I feel like this would make a good Disney movie. This book is mostly about the sex, wrapped up in a sweet little romantic bow with some bloody battle scenes thrown in. Not my favorite, but it was entertaining enough. I think I might like the Disney movie better, but It made for a good Vaginal Fantasy Hangout read for those who are all about the sex scenes.
