- Loveable characters? No

This book started out great for classic science fiction. Not quite 5 star, but a close 'SF classic' equivalent. I never changed my opinion so hard in the middle of reading a book.
1) The women are just objects.
2) Sexual activity is grossly explained.
3) The traits and storylines off the gay characters are taken from (in my opinion) completely harmful stereotypes.
4) The confessions they make at the last part of the book are completely over the top, nasty and as said before harmful.
5) The offhanded comment of pitying someone for raping his own sister?! I don’t care who you do it to, that is just a disgusting thing to write.
I could only finish with a look of disgust on my face. The fact that I did finish it is in itself a miracle after the complete nose dive into that harmful mess.
