Added DiffLines:

* {{Jerkass}}: Caroline is a thoroughly unpleasant character throughout the story, between her strange fetishes, lovers/friends who are ''unrepentant murderers, fascists, and pedophiles'', and her disproportionate hate for everyone that rivals [[Literature/IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream AM]]. And while she wasn't ''trying'' to [[spoiler: kill everyone in existence except herself and Lawrence]], she sure looks on the bright side when it happens.

* FetishFuel: Zig-zagged. The (mostly relatively outré) sex scenes might give this impression on a superficial reading, but to take them as such misses the point. While readers with sufficiently outré tastes might find them appealing, they're present in the story for the same reason as the Gorn: to demonstrate the lengths to which people will go merely to stave off the ever-encroaching boredom of immortality in a LotusEaterMachine.
