Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

Two chemists research hormones that will affect behavior and enhance their own private pleasures. Lawrence Sanders writes in a first-person narrative for a diverse cast of characters, making this a wonderful choice for audio. Jay O. Sanders reads the male parts, and Sanders's wife, Maryann Plunkett, reads the female parts. She's especially persuasive in her portrayal of Mabel Brown, a neglected wife looking for love from any source. While multiple characters can become confusing, the tapes are divided into mini-sections, making this perfect for short trips. A scintillating tale by a best-selling author and recited by accomplished readers makes Private Pleasures a fantastic performance not easily forgotten. A.L.M.

The plot of the story is great, and the development of the story was great too, hoever, I didn't like the ending that much. Nonetheless, if you're a Lawrence Sanders fan, you should check this book out!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing., January 14, 2001

Being a Lawnrece Sanders fan, I thought this particular book left a lot to be desired. Although the storyline continues, each chapter is told from the viewpoint of a different character. The concept of the book was good, but would have been much better done as a regular story and not told from the viewpoints of the characters.
