1.0 out of 5 stars Atrocious writing and editing, mediocre stories, June 2, 2009

This review is from: Taming Of The Brat: M/F Spanking Stories (Volume One) (Paperback)

I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone. The quality of the writing was poor enough to distract me from the story and made me question the author's grasp of the English language. The style was a bit pretentious, as if aspiring to be very "literary" and failing, and there were a large number grammar and spelling errors, oddly placed commas, and sentences that weren't complete or simply didn't make sense. I've come to expect, unfortunately, some amount of overlooked errors in erotica, and I can look past that--but being pulled out of the story to puzzle over just what in the world the author meant by something was a bit too much.

As for the stories, I was disappointed as well. Maybe if they'd been hotter, I would have been less bothered by the other issues mentioned, but they just weren't. If you like sex with your spanking, you won't find it here. I would have preferred that, but even so a story that is strictly spanking can be fun. A couple of these were kind of hot, but the rest were mostly dull and unarousing. Part of it was the overdone language, but there were also too many superfluous details (if I wanted 5 pages of nothing but history of the War of the Roses, I would be reading a different kind of book...I don't want that in my erotica!), and just plain boring scenes.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Cover is the best part..., August 7, 2009

This review is from: Taming Of The Brat: M/F Spanking Stories (Volume One) (Paperback)

I allowed myself to be lured by the attractive tush on the cover. Unfortunately that ended up being the highlight of the book.

There are so many grammatical errors in the authors writing I have to wonder how he or the editor got this to print. I've read several British books and so am familiar with that style of writing and grammar, that wasn't the issue. I quickly got to the point where I was so distracted by the repeated errors than I was unable to picture what I was reading. There was some effort made to read like a lofty "Brit" style book, but I have a hard time giving the author more than a nod at the attempt. Most of the stories were so drawn out (and w/ all the errors) that I felt I needed to skip forward to get it over. The only other bright spot was his explanation of what being a spanko is.

I've read many spanko books, but this one will not make the bookshelf.

1.0 out of 5 stars repetitive, poorly written, not sexy enough, June 5, 2009

By

This review is from: Taming Of The Brat: M/F Spanking Stories (Volume One) (Paperback)

Firstly, the stories are not about spanking as a prelude to sex, or about spanking as foreplay; they are just about spanking. Which is fine, I suppose, if the reader is looking for stories of discipline and power and authority and stuff. I wanted stories about sex which involve spanking and this book did not deliver.
Secondly, the stories are not written very well. The author uses the same phrases in every story. For example, the spanker addresses the spankee as 'my girl', whether the story is set in present day, the 70s or during the War of the Roses. Or as another example, every story describes the spanking the female will receive as 'well-deserved'.
As another reviewer noted, the stories were ultimately a little dull and that is the reason for rating the book one star. The book would benefit from the use of a thesaurus and perhaps deployment of some similies/metaphors. Despite the authors discussion of the 'spanko vs. vanilla' dynamic in the introduction, the stories come off the page as flat and plain.
