Delta of Venus

Rating:
Summary: Lushly erotic and provocative.
Review: Looking for erotica that is not too far over the edge into bizarre? Although the language in the book is quaint due to the era in which it was written, it is still lushly erotic and perfect for reading to your significant other. Nin's writing style draws the reader into a private world of erotic pleasures, with detailed yet tasteful descriptions of wonderfully sensual scenes.

Summary: A celebration of love, life & lust!
Review: A truly brilliant and breath-taking fusion of the art of writing and the art of love making. I have read and re-read this book countless times and each time discovered something new about it - like a precious gem when held in the sun, gives out a different shine with every turn and twist, each distinct from the previous yet equally dazzling! A note of caution, this book is not for the devout conventionalists! Everyone else, read it! you won't be disappointed.

Summary: This is rare masterpiece changing your mind & geting high
Review: After I read this book I told all my friends read it. This is really more than erotica and sex, this is a work of art. You change the way you look and think at sex and erotica. Every night I remember the book and wish to reread it again and again. The book I've given to everybody I know who reads English because there is still not a Russian translation of Delta of Venus as I know. I will always remember my first experience of reading of Delta of Venus. And this is my own experience which awake with this excelent book.

Summary: A fun and truthful view on sex.
Review: This book was so exciting. Parts of this book were however very sadistic. I think to truly enjoy this book the reader has to be open to the ideas Anais Nin portrays in her book. Two stories were especially provocative. The story of a female body being pulled from a river and being sexually manipulated by a young man was the first. The second was a story of a man being aroused by two very young girls, and how the three of them play together. Otherwise I thought that most of the stories could be anyone's fantasies.

Summary: Nin knows how to write erotica
Review: This book is quite special. THe stories are sublte and poetic and not hard to take at all. I liked this volume of erotica better than the next. Nin got paid a dollar a word for these stories, she should have gotten more. Also read, Story of O, Vox by Baker and Lip Service by Rose

Rating:
Summary: A dissapointing text
Review: This is one of Nin's poorer texts. She leaves out her feminine style. In its place, she offers a crude and simplistic story line. I would encourage readers to try some of her other works.

Summary: The book I've given to every one I know
Review: I don't recall how I stumbled upon Delta of Venus but the experience of reading it I will always remember. It makes you realize the intensity of tenderness, eroticness, and beauty only a woman could possess.

Summary: Brilliant.
Review: Capturing, as no one else has, the purely female language of sex and erotica, Anais Nin manages to expose a world of readers to how the women's erotic mind works. Her writing is frank, open, and yet coy and subtle and her turn of phrase is entrancing. I recommend it to anyone who's gushed over Anne Rice.. Come see what erotica is really like.
