WTF?!

Should this book even be considered sci-fi? I feel that achieves the bare-minimum requirement to get into the genre, if there is such a thing. Not that it isn't a bad story or anything, better than all the others we've read already. A good conflict starting slowly and building up at a reasonable pace until the conclusion, a likeable protaganist, villains that I really wanted to throttle on her behalf, the whole shebang. Some of the sexual stuff kind of got to me though, and not in a good way either. Sure, I've gotten used to it happening in our reading assignments by now, and the fact that it was a lot of lesbian stuff was just fine. But that stuff that Lore did with porn and sex clubs and all just made me want to kick the crap out of her parents for being so damn negligent. On a lighter note, Spanner throwing a party just to get a load of people uncontrollably horny so they could be caught on camera just struck me as the funniest thing in this book LOL. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is this: is it just me, or is it a bit sad that this book would be more interesting because of sexual content than for it's sci-fi content, despite being in the sci-fi category? I also couldn't help noticing that this is the fourth book with smut and an award attached, coincidence? Not bloody likely. These academics giving out these awards need to get their heads out of the gutter and start noticing all the zombies that need to be shot, 'nuff said.
