ah, i see why it's considered sci-fi classic. it's pretty nice for a book written by a man.

"I like her; I could watch her the rest of my life. She has breasts that smile." is an actual quote from this book. this, along with "her breasts bobbing with agitation" from a different story by him, leads me to a conclusion that dick (what a fitting last name) was one of the original men writing women. so he's got that going for him, i guess.

p.s. marking this as funny because it's hilariously bad.

the whole book author is telling us about

domestic abuse and marital rape

, and in the end main character decides to

live with a man

? are you serious?
it's a well-written book, and i enjoyed it, i just can't make peace with the fact that

the heroine is familiar with wolves and butchers alike and yet chooses the life of a lamb.
