American Virgin Vol. 3: Wet [Paperback]

Steven T. Seagle (Author), Becky Cloonan (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

This installment of the saga of teen virginity crusader Adam Chamberlain, whose own reason for saving it was murdered by terrorists in Head (2006), resolves the near-death experience he was in at the end of Going Down (2007) and speeds through racy soap operatics, including flashbacks to Adam’s childhood exposure to virtue-monger hypocrisy at a politician uncle’s nude pool parties. Becky Cloonan’s sharp, energetic drawing, stripped down from the adventurous black-and-white Demo (2005), doesn’t work as well with color added (the best scene here occurs in a lights-out orgy room), and the entertainment value of repeatedly flouting Adam’s chastity is waning. American Virgin’s in need of revival. --Ray Olson
