5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, July 16, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Speaking Parts: Provocative Lesbian Erotica (Paperback)

Can a man write good dyke erotica -- YES! What makes this book so great isn't that it's a guy writing girl erotica, but that the stories themselves are so wonderfully written: sexy, wild, clever, and just plain fun. Put politics aside and enjoy a really good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good stories, and that is all that counts., July 4, 2003

This review is from: Speaking Parts: Provocative Lesbian Erotica (Paperback)

Setting aside all the silly politics of orientation and gender bias, how do the stories read? Quite well, for the most part. Some are quite gentle, tinged with an atmosphere of bittersweet romance. The stories A Light Minute and New York, N.Y. by Way of Taos, N.M being good examples. Others are firmly placed in the technoir/cyberpunk genre I know that the author loves dearly. The edge of your seat grabber Hot Definiton being a particular outstanding choice read in that department. Those wanting more sex focused stories and not hungering for real stories with just a basis in sex or sexuality had better look elsewhere. When picking this anthology up, the reader should really put down all the phony preconceptions about what a writer should or should not be and just concentrate on the important part of reading, which is and always will be the story - not s/he who tells it. Recommended.

By A Customer

This review is from: Speaking Parts: Provocative Lesbian Erotica (Paperback)

I was really surprised by how good this collection is: smart, wild, and always sexy. There's a lot of erotica being written out there and the best of it comes from M. Christian. Highly recommended!
