Review

Oh, baby, hold onto your hat. Or should I say, just hold on. Next to that perfect red rose, Angela Costa's first collection of erotica is going to be the biggest selling item this Valentine's Day. If the cover doesn't make you blush, it will certainly turn you on and the "reasons" themselves are sure to delight even the most romance-resistant.

A pocket-sized volume, 1000 Reasons You Might Think She Is My Lover, is a collection of three line images set six to a page in a wild variety of fonts and type sizes. Most of these one-thousand reasons are suggestive, erotic, outrageous. And while they do make use of metaphor, all are accessible and stimulate the imagination. Here's a small sample:

#985
These
Honey cream
Hills
#624
She says
Go ahead
Take more

#619
Her
Valentine
Wide open

#394
She melts
in my
mouth

#987
The all
Pervasive
Yes

#972
The
Hush and
Moan

A large number of the reasons make use of familiar phrases and turn them into something a little bit ... more.

#956
Oh
Happy
Dazed

#396
I am
An experienced
Diver

#965
Tasting
The
Sublime

#248
Our
Rhythm
Method

#948
Exploring
The
Amazon

#189
Ain't
Life a
Butch!

So whatever your pleasure, this collection of juicy little tidbits is the perfect icebreaker for that Valentine's date. If these "reasons" don't kindle passion in your girlfriend, then, honey, you better check to see if she's still breathing! -- Quinn Lioe, reviewer

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, June 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 1000 Reasons You Might Think She Is My Lover (Paperback)

This book was very disappointing to me because I was expecting something substantial and this is just a tiny little book of really short poems. If you want a novelty book this is it but I was expecting fiction, not poetry.

This is a really 'hip' little book. I love it because it is hot and smart and above all, it is not corny! The cover is great, the writing excellent and the graphics inside are fun and clever. This is the book you should keep in your pocket for reference.
