SUMMARY: Jenny describes how she lost her virginity at the age of
twelve to the 14-year-old son of her Girl Scout troop leader.  
After this she tells of her second time, a year later, with one 
of her friend's older brothers.

COMMENTARY: I had a hard time getting into this story.  I lay the
blame for that in a number of places.  First there is the age of 
the main character.  I have a hard time getting aroused by a 
description of a 12-year-old losing her virginity.  If the story 
is described in such a way that her age is not emphasized, then I
might be able to ignore this fact, but that is not the case here.

Second, there is the large amount of narration sans dialogue.  
Okay, let me take a step back.  There is dialogue in this story, 
I am not trying to deny that.  My problem is that there is not 
enough to satisfy my tastes.  What you end up with, when you have
as much narration as there is in this story, is much more 
description than there is "meaningful" interaction between the 
characters.  It was just too one-sided for me.

Third, and finally, there is the plot.  It seems as though this 
story could have been split in to two separate stories.  That may
or may not be apparent from by summarization of the plot.  I 
think that if I had been more taken in by some of the other 
elements of the story then I may have been a bit forgiving when 
it came to the plot; unfortunately, I wasn't.

This is not a badly written story.  It will probably appeal to 
women more than it does to men.  If dialogue isn't as important 
to you as it is to me and you don't mind reading about a 12-year-
old having sex, then you may enjoy this story.
