Exactly how steamy is this story?
PG
The closest this book comes to steaminess is a single mention of the word loins. So yeah, nothing to worry about here.
We give The Lathe of Heaven a PG rating for the violence that is depicted during the plague years and the alien invasion. Still, we never actually see any deaths happening in front of us (unless you count the people who disappear), and sexy times are only implied.
How much cleaner can you get in a dystopian novel?
