  COMMENTARY

This is a very well written novel.  It has several plot lines and 
a decent amount of sex.  Sex is not the be all, end all of this 
story.  The author makes a serious attempt at dealing with some moral 
issues, including the juxtapositon of an active premarital sex life 
and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.

This is a long story.  If you are just looking for something to beat 
off to then I advise you read part seven, and skip the rest.  This is 
not to say that there is no sex in the other parts, or that I did not 
find it arousing, just that the story does not revolve around sex in 
the other parts as much as does in the seventh one.
