No, it was excellent. Don't avoid due to the sex, which outside of the first chapter is not a focus of the book, you'll be depriving yourself of a great read.

Sibs is by far my favorite non-RJ/Adversary FPW book. I don't recall there being that much sex in it myself, but I haven't read it in a while.

Sibs is a great read. Though I must point out that the sex in the book is a component of the story, it's not done in a gratuitous nature.
Isn't it unusual though that sex in a book is usually forbidden or restricted, but violence is widely accepted? Sex is a natural, necessary act, but violence is not.

Sex is a natural, necessary act, but violence is not.It's similar to what you'll find on TV. Sex and nudity are minimized (especially compared to European TV), but violence is everywhere. Parents get all upset about their kids seeing sex and naked people, but there is violence in many shows, including children's programming.

I find the biggest problem I have with what is shown on TV and in movies has nothing to do with either sex or violence, but with how children are portrayed as smart-assed, know-it-alls. I don't find it challenging in the slightest to keep my kids from viewing anything not age appropriate regarding both sex and violence, but next to impossible to avoid the glib, smooth-talking comedian brat. And with sooooo many kids be raised by the telly, it's only natural that a large percentage attempt to become what they see on it without the benefit of a scriptwriter.

2000? Oh, yeah! I didn't recognize that myself. He he... :p
By the way while I'm sleeping, everybody answered your question. Yes, Sibs is excellent.

LOL! Ok, based on that reaction, I guess I do need to read it again. I will say that based on my memory of it, I've certainly read far worse. Everything is relative, Jimbo.

Well, violence isn't good either...but I'm human, so I'm working on it
