I cant see buying this without knowing what it is.
For what it is, gay fiction/porn, it's good. Some is really great but none of it insults the reader. I liked this book and was surprised it was as good as it was. Ford holds his own with the best in the genre.

Thanks Michael.

I first read this fiction in two books by Tom Caffrey, Hitting Home and Tales from the Men's Room. It's nice to have them all in one book. I've always wondered about the man behind the fiction and so I read Mr. Ford's foreword with interest.

But if you like Ford's other writing and are expecting the same in Tangled Sheets, at least read the backcover and other information Amazon has included about this book before you purchase it, are disappointed, and write a review expressing your distaste.

For readers who enjoyed this author's later books, this one might shock. I didn't understand the low ratings for it until I read one of his other books. If you enjoy extremely literate, creative and graphically sexy short stories about gay men, you will love this book. I did.

What a complete waste of talent and a total bore. Ford is a very talented and gifted writer. I thoroughly enjoyed his "Looking for It." I was hoping for more of the same.

Instead, this is a compilation of thirty "erotic" or "porn" stories. I don't need, much less "enjoy," this kind of graphic fantasy. After all, there's only so much any author can do with the same graphic details of gay sex before it all blurs into the usual "oh." After the third instalment, I tossed the book.

If you want extremely graphic gay porn in narrative, this "trash" or "tintilation" might appeal to you. Ford is an extremely able writer. But even his spin on thirty gay fantasies wasn't going anywhere with me -- fast.
