Review of Lust over reasoning
Lust Over Reasoning; The 23rd Century Decline into Sexual Degradation by Thomas P. Yates is an erotic literature set in the year 2222. It is a story in which the extent of humanity’s line of reasoning is tested against passion and human desire. As the book unravels, we are exposed to various forms of sexual and moral decadence. A family is torn apart by the lust which fuels their sexual bravado and encourages their escapades. Set in over 100 years from now, imagination takes over as the author dissects what may be the fate of the world in time to come. Thomas P. Yates explores the lust between a mother and her son, a father and his daughter, and a brother and a sister. Family ties are broken. The rules of humanity are crossed, and borderlines are erased. The more one delves into this book, the more the question lingers, does it get any worse than it already is?
I applaud the author’s imagination in writing this book. He combines the happenings in the present to predict a future that may well befall humans if care is not taken. The author’s ability to put into writing the raw, untainted passion in the twisted relationships between the characters Is quite commendable. The author’s use of first-person narration gives the reader a broader perspective of the whole story. The state of mind of each character is unraveled to enable the reader better understand the factors that have led or will lead the character to pursue an action and to react a certain way.
This book has some downsides that affected my overall satisfaction while reading it. The raw depiction of sexual decadence in various forms by the author threw me off from the first chapter. It gives an unbelievable impression that leaves you wondering if our society will ever get to that stage. It seemed artificial and unattainable even. In addition, the use of profane words by characters without provocation was a bit too much. I understand the author's creative mind attempted to depict the level of explicit sexual encounters between relations. However, I also found this to be quite disturbing.
I give this book a rating of three out of five stars. I removed a star because of the negatives I mentioned above. I would have given this book an additional star. However, I had to subtract an extra star because it lacked professional editing. I found a lot of typographical and grammar errors in it.
I recommend this book to lovers of erotic literature. People who enjoy futuristic books would be a perfect fit for this book too.
