2.0 out of 5 stars The message of this book is simple: pay attention., January 30, 1998

All people are different, we like different things. This book is 1001 little quotes from different women. Some like this, some like that. If you're really out of touch, get it. Otherwise you won't read more than a couple of pages.

2.0 out of 5 stars 1001 Trite Expressions, January 29, 2001

By	"phreaky66" (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 1001 Sex Secrets Every Man Should Know (Paperback)

If you buy this book, make sure you know exactly what it is. It is a simple list of 1001 BRIEF anecdotes, three per page. Some are only two or three words long, and many seem obvious, stupid, trite, or otherwise useless. One of the reviews says: "It contains numerous interviews with different women about what they really want and expect from sexual relationships." I feel this implies much more depth than the book really has -- while the author may have interviewed women, we only get short anectdotes. Here are some examples from flipping through the book:

#978 Big penis = lousy lover
#485 No burping or farting in bed
#286 Foot massages
#829 Turn off the television, please

To be fair, they aren't all his bad. And if you read them all perhaps you will pick up a couple gems that relate to you. But very few are insightful. Just be sure you know what you are getting into before you purchase this book. Don't expect anything more than a coffee table book of anecdotes. I would have much rather had interview transcripts (or at least excerpts more than one sentence long). For me this book was a very cheap mistake. I am giving it two stars because I found it slightly interesting to browse through, even if the info wasn't very useful or practical.
