"Climbing" by Poison Ivan (relationships) 10, 10, 10
"Climbing" by Poison Ivan (poisoniv1@hotmail.com). Guest review by Bronwen. This is a story about climbing. It's MF con, but if I say much more it might spoil your pleasure. This is a story less about sex than about confidence. About achievement. It's an observation on the importance of respect in relationships. It's extremely educational if you aren't a climber. And it's a good read. Good in the sense of literature. Yes, it's sexy. Very sexy indeed, if you're into physical fitness. But it goes beyond many of its fellows on ASSM. It's a *really* well-written story, and what it says about relationships is memorable. Any criticisms I have are mere nit-picking - this is easily good enough for commercial publication. My respects to the author. Ratings for "Climbing" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Bronwen (appeal to reviewer): 10 |
