Amazon.com Review

Is your kissing up to snuff? In this informative and entertaining guide to one of our favorite activities, Tomima Edmark indeed shows you "everything you need to know," plus quite a bit that you don't--all of it interesting. The section titled "Prelude to a Kiss" is filled with amusing facts and statistics; "Kissing Fundamentals" answers age-old questions such as "Eyes open or closed?" and "Where do the noses go?"; and "Kissing As an Art Form" is a guide to osculatory refinement for the more advanced kisser. "I kissed my first woman and smoked my first cigarette on the same day. I have never had time for tobacco since," Arturo Toscanini said. Smart man. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

I got the book and started reading it. The first few chapters tell you nothing about how to kiss. This pissed me off somewhat. In a book I value a brief and to the point sort of approach. I also don't give a damn about celebrities and what they have to say. Or about the world record for longest kiss. Or a chapter long definition about what a kiss is.

Seriously, it seems as if Mrs. Edmark had a few good points to make but she needed to meet a page number minimum. She filled all the extra space with captions and titles and other trivial information that does not help with kissing. I haven't finished the book but after reading the first chapter and a half I'm not compelled to keep reading it. My time is more valuable.
