The Pop-Up Kama Sutra: Six Paper-Engineered Variations

Rating:
Summary: Lousy as a pop up
Review: I bought it for the novelty of the popups. But the popups are lousey. Not one works like you think it ought. Such smart idea, poorly done. Text is nicely layed out but that is not why you are buying this book, to read, I am sure. Plan to be disappointed...

Summary: Very disappointing as a pop-up and as a text book...
Review: I collect pop-up books, especially the unusual, strange and well-engineered. This book was sadly none of these. I wish I had read the review before adding to my wish list. Pop-ups are mundane, unimaginative and don't work well. Great idea, poor execution. I prefer the full text by Sir Richard Burton.

Summary: Flaccid Pop Flop
Review: I was very excited about this book. I'm sad to say it was a great disappointment. The premise had great potential as a unique, entertaining gift book perfect for couples. However, the six pop ups are not very complex and break easily. The text consists of excerpts, and is not as good a read as the complete original. Despite the book description, the pop ups do not represent the most unique and wildly acrobatic (sexual) positions chronicled by Sir Burton. I can only recommend this book for those with lots of spare change to spend on unusual (but rather mundane) books. Buy the original, and skip the pop up version.

Summary: Excellent Novelty book
Review: The people who didn't like this are way too critical; it isn't supposed to be a serious new translation of the text. The Pop-Up is a novelty book, and it provided my friends with an evening's entertainment at a birthday party. If you aren't familiar with the Kama Sutra, the pop-ups, as well as the illustrations, bring it all to life.

Summary: Awesome Pop Ups!!! Fun for everyone!!
Review: This book was awesome!!! I dont know why several reviewers complained. Norman is right, they are WAY to critical! If you want a full version go and buy a full version. This is a great compliment to any full version. I would Highly Recommended it as the pop ups are really fun and look awesome. If they overloaded the book with all of the original material it would take away from the Beauty of the pop-ups. The colours and pages are very Beautiful, all of the pages are glossy and its a hardcover (which is about 1 square foot surface area btw. I thought it would be a smaller book b4 i received it). 5 of the 6 pop ups have tabs that you can pull and make the pop-ups move. The suspension pose looks really cool when you move her up and down, up and down hehehehe :) I'm sure that if its a party a couple or just a person reading it, they will find it very enjoyable and get a good laugh here and there. Very Fun book!

Summary: Amusing
Review: This is a very amusing book that would be good for something like a bachlorette party. It's not for those serious about the subject, and is rather short.
