wow, this is tough shit, this is heavy stuff. the story in itself is absolutely coherent, they react to each other and her tale, the way she writes their own story as a fiction leads his way. your style of writing changes significantly when the "mating"-part begins, and it fits its animalistic, instinctive content: it's a harsh, hard, simple style. that's perfect writing, but the story is abit too harsh for me, i'm still a fucking romantic :).
