5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book - Buy It!, November 16, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Pleasures (Paperback)

This is a wonderfully sexy book that is perfect to read with a partner! I bought it for a long car trip I took with my girlfriend. While she was driving I read some of the stories to her and she loved it not just because it totally turned her on but because she thought it was very sweet and romantic that I would read to her these stories. Also, wow that turned out to be one hell of a hot car ride - amazing we didn't have an accident (you have NO idea!) Guys, you have to try this. You will LOVE the rewards! (I hope you guys print this w/o my email address in here because you're not getting it. No way. Too shy.)

3.0 out of 5 stars Pleasures wasn't that pleasurable, December 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Pleasures (Paperback)

While I did enjoy some of the stories that this book offered, overall it didn't contain anything new or stimulating. Some of the stories were poorly written and others didn't even seem to belong in this book. Next time, I'll be a little more choosy before purchasing a book of this nature.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok.......but no keeper., January 22, 2007

This review is from: Pleasures (Paperback)

I was surprised to find (in the biographies) the authors of several of the articles/stories were journalists, poets, and writers. I thought several of the stories were poorly written and could have been greatly improved to be more erotic or sensual if retold or rewritten by a more advanced writer. I also skipped all of the girl/girl stories which I myself can't manage to find sensual. Overall, it was ok and there were a few moving stories but I wouldn't classify this book as a do-over to keep and read again.
