4.0 out of 5 stars But...Are They Enough?, December 9, 2006

This review is from: The Good Parts: Pure Lesbian Erotica (Paperback)

Valley Gay Press Book Reviewer: Liz Bradbury (Author of Angel Food and Devil Dogs - A Maggie Gale Mystery)
This book of "pure lesbian erotica" (as it says on the cover) is a 250 page collection of 59 very very short story vignettes that just cover the sexual encounters between two (or more) women and nothing more. The idea of cutting out everything but the "good parts" may have seemed like a good plan, (it did to me me at first) but, though the excerpt-like contributions by 59 different authors are well written, most lack the sexual tension and emotional build up an actual story or novel would have. Every character always "gets lucky" within one page. No surprises, no hot dialog, no hints, no chance that the page might end without every character getting laid. This book makes you realize that the actual sex acts aren't what makes a good story really erotic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly sexy and fun!, July 25, 2006

This review is from: The Good Parts: Pure Lesbian Erotica (Paperback)

I bought this book on a whim and loved it! I would read a story every night and go to sleep happy. No matter how experienced you are, you'll probably be surprised and educated by the stories. I lent it to a straight friend and she was really surprised by what "lesbians do." I recommend it - it was a great read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent sex but over-edited, July 15, 2007

This review is from: The Good Parts: Pure Lesbian Erotica (Paperback)

The stories in this anthology are generally fine, and some of them are quite good. But I bet they were considerably better before they were edited quite so brutally. Indeed, I have read one or two of the stories in other erotica anthologies and although they were only minimally longer they were notably more compelling. Though in theory I don't mind just getting to the hot and heavy part of an erotica story, I found the choppy editing disorienting and somewhat annoying.
