Bad Sex

[ColinJ]

It's not that bad. Certainly above the Mills and Boon "and he thrust his pulsating love muscle deep within her quivering passion pouch..." sort of pap.

I thought it was more "She felt the insistent, brutal heat of his breath flit upon her neck as he pulled her close, then closer still. His muscular arms enveloped her quivering frame as she felt her resistance ebb away. Her once taut lace bodice flopped to the floor and then, finally, when she could wait no longer, he seized her love, and all became a burning mist ..."

Say what!

A 350 page build-uo and then all we get is a wretched 'burning mist'!!!

It reminds me of this, an annual favourite of mine: http://www.bulwer-lytton.com/2016win.html

Pure joy! Thank you.

Not surprised that Wilbur Smith won; he has written so many books that they have become cut 'n paste and you'll find the same sex scene in most of them. You'll also find the same descriptions of deaths and key Wilbur Smith phrases.

Lee Child is pretty much the same. I'm surprised that Jack Reacher doesn't squash his lovers, what with his mighty physique.

A short course of antibiotics should clear that up.

Again, M&B are no where near 350 pages long.

There is the classic early twentieth century lesbian novel, The Well of Loneliness, that after chapters of build up your get "that night they were not divided"

Hollywood executive to guest at exclusive industry party: "We wanted a huge brute of a man for the role; a man who could intimidate with raw, animal power. John wanted Schwarzenegger, but he was too old, too Austrian. Michael wanted Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, but he was too, well, Icelandic - an American audience needs to be able to pronounce the names of its movie stars! Everyone can say 'Cruise', and he is an all-American boy, so we went with Tom ..."

You've a talent there Colin, could make a killing from selling books to lonely spinsters everywhere.
