4.0 out of 5 stars Some really fun stories @ a good price, September 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica, Volume 1 (Mammoth Books) (Paperback)

I think this book has some really fun, sexy stories by some of the top erotica authors in the US, as well as authors from other parts of the globe who I was unfamiliar with until now. I think the stories show a lot of imagination and are well-crafted. Some are incredibly hot. All of these stories were deemed good enough to have been published elsewhere during the year. A few of them have even appeared in some of Sheiner's anthologies,....

2.0 out of 5 stars a disappointment, September 16, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica, Volume 1 (Mammoth Books) (Paperback)

This book is in need of some editing help (the term "weigh station" is way off and I was looking for a diet or a trucker story, and that's just the beginning), and "Butt Hutt" may be one of the dumbest & most offensive erotica stories I've ever read. A couple of great stories from big writers (Queen, Indigo, Christian) does not make up for the rest of this dreck. It's a close runner-up to "Aqua Erotica" for the worst erotica anthology around, but at least you can read the print!

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of stories, with a few good ones, September 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica, Volume 1 (Mammoth Books) (Paperback)

I can't complain about the price for what you get with this book - there are a ton of stories. Lots I couldn't read though, and some that weren't sexy at all. I love Isabelle Caruther's story, and Susanna Indigo's too, but I always like womens' stories the best. The overall quality isn't as high as Susie Bright's or Marcy Sheiner's books, but what's good in it is really good!
