5.0 out of 5 stars Stories that set your imagination on fire!, September 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Mammoth Book of New Erotica (Mammoth Books) (Paperback)

The cover of the book caught my eye and I wasn't expecting much as I picked it up to flip through. To my surprise, I was deeply drawn into the stories (yes the sex was great too!) as I started reading. I found that they were very well written and totally not what I had expected of such fiction. The great writing that vividly describes interesting characters in various "acts of love" makes you want to read story after story. Try it and see for yourself...I can't wait to finish the 5-hour-old book. What a gem I picked as my first book on erotica!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining, May 1, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Mammoth Book of New Erotica (Mammoth Books) (Paperback)

With this being my first foray into the world of erotica (besides the occasional Penthouse Forum article) I must say I was very pleased. All of these stories touch us deep down inside, some more prevalent than others. The characterization of some of the main players in the longer stories is excellent. Not only do these sotries deal with sex and the physical please, but also emotional repercussions-good and bad. I have read this book numeerous times and look forward to purchasing other "Mammoth erotica" collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Good Ones Make The Book!, April 29, 2005

This review is from: The Mammoth Book of New Erotica (Mammoth Books) (Paperback)

Like many other collections of erotica, some of the stories were lukewarm at best. However, one in particular (The Dress) was hot. If there is one story in this collective that will stir something up, this is it. Ranging from voyerism and exhibitionism, to humiliation and lesbian sex, it covers a wide range of sensual and strong images with a well-written turn of words.

That story alone gives this book 5 stars.
