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!

Private Pleasures was brilliantly innovative. Lawrence Sanders does great character and story development. This book with its element of fantasy and futuristic science left me very satisfied. His subtle humor and smooth and clever writing style is unparalleled!

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.

The annotation for this book touts it as a "sizzling new shocker...." Don't believe it. This is a very light novel written, in my opinion, at a level suitable for a high school student. Sanders sets the story up to lead you to believe that you're in for a novel about human experimentation, espionage, and...according to the book's cover..."love, lust, and violence!" He sure fooled me! I've seen more violence in Three Stooges films. This is a nice little story if you are looking for a bland, family novel. If you're looking for a spicy, shocking sizzler with love, lust, violence, espionage, etc., try something else.
