5.0 out of 5 stars I Return There, January 10, 2008

Ben Naga "Ben Naga" (Cumbria, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Virginie: Her Two Lives (Paperback)

Needless to say which of the two reviewers (as I currently post) I tend to agree with. Apart from anything else this book has my favourite-of-all-time definition of love:

"Innocence is the clarity with which the self shows forth the self. Love is the respect we feel for innocence."

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the worst books ever, August 18, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Virginie: Her Two Lives (Paperback)

This book is terrible, from the ridiculous plots to the decidedly unsexy erotic scenes. Avoid unless you like really bad prose for its camp value.
