honestly- it gets two stars because anytime you hear the P-word and C-word used frequently to reference certain areas of the female anatomy, if only at a juvenile level, it's interesting. I am in no way prude, and I didn't find the vocabulary "distracting", I just felt it was the only part that was worth noticing in this book. It starts off intersting enough, but as soon as the first sex scene comes in, the entire plot seems to dissapate and the book becomes pages and pages of mattress mambo. Then when the plot kicks in again, it all screams Sci-fi meets bad soap opera... really heavy on the cheesiness.
