Customer Reviews
Decent sex but over-edited
The stories in this anthology are generally fine, and some of them are quite good. But I bet they were considerably better before they were edited quite so brutally. Indeed, I have read one or two of the stories in other erotica anthologies and although they were only minimally longer they were notably more compelling. Though in theory I don't mind just getting to the hot and heavy part of an erotica story, I found the choppy editing disorienting and somewhat annoying.
"The Good Parts"
I purchased this book expecting a pleasurable read. Unfortunately, I didn't get this as a result. Each story is very predictable, the wording (even though the stories are written by different authors), is nearly identical from story to story, and many of the sex acts and situations are very unbelievable. I will be dropping this book at the nearest rummage sale!
But...Are They Enough?
This book of "pure lesbian erotica" (as it says on the cover) is a 250 page collection of 59 very very short story vignettes that just cover the sexual encounters between two (or more) women and nothing more. The idea of cutting out everything but the "good parts" may have seemed like a good plan, (it did to me me at first) but, though the excerpt-like contributions by 59 different authors are well written, most lack the sexual tension and emotional build up an actual story or novel would have. Every character always "gets lucky" within one page. No surprises, no hot dialog, no hints, no chance that the page might end without every character getting laid. This book makes you realize that the actual sex acts aren't what makes a good story really erotic.
