3.0 out of 5 stars All so predictable but with plenty of sex....., January 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Catalyst (Paperback)

This book presents the viewpoint of a movie audience and follows each group after they leave the movie. The movie has a profound affect on their sexual antics and through each chapter we get to see what they do as a result of having watched a rather graphic s/m movie. It was predictable in the you had the lesbians, the gay guys, the couples into swapping, etc. I did think the story about the girl who meets the guy in the movie was well written. Apparently she had seen the movie a number of times and was trying to pick up the 'the right man.' So if you like a lot of sex this is your book. If you want something new and interesting then don't buy it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Short and Sexy, May 5, 2000

This review is from: The Catalyst (Paperback)

This collection of short stories cleverly spins off from a movie theater where patrons have watched a movie about "the scene". We follow several couples of different orientations back to their homes where they play out fantasies inspired by the film. Some of the characters seemed more fully developed than others, but this is a risk in any short format. Likewise some of the stories were hotter than others but this could be personal taste. Overall there should be a story to interest almost anyone.
