The Empress's New Lingerie : Bedtime Stories for Grownups

Rating:
Summary: Not impressed.
Review: Frankly, I found this a waste of time and money. It looks like something an amateur who bought a book on how to write erotica might have written -- except she didn't get it right. Actually, the whole book is rather amateurish, if not downright silly. It seems like it was written very quickly, as if there was some reason to hurry up and get it into the stores. Talk about trying to ride on someone else's coat-tails! I agree with one aspect of the Library Journal review posted here -- it's strictly for one-handers.

Summary: This book could have been a lot of fun....
Review: I started reading this book right away after receiving it. I was really curious how it was written. I kept reading, and I kept being disappointed. It never got better. There was not much sex; some stories had none. Some of the stories stayed true to the non-erotic version, some did not. None of them were well-written, or well thought out. It's a very short book, and not very interesting. I don't recommend it.

Summary: Great Disappointment
Review: I was very excited when I bought this book. As soon as I started reading it I discovered what a huge disappointment it was. The stories were lame and unsexy. Save yourself a buck. Don't bother reading this book.

Summary: Disappointing silliness
Review: Not much of merit or originality to be found here, I'm afraid. The stories in this collection are the stuff of sex-aid writing, real one-handers -- and the writing itself tends to be on the hackneyed side. I tried to stick with it to the bitter end, looking for a jewel here and there, but only ended up disappointed. Definitely not worth keeping on the bookshelf. I think I'll stick with the original 'Erotic Fairy Tales, A Romp through the Classics' by Mitzi Szereto.

Summary: What is this cr*p?
Review: THE EMPRESS'S NEW LINGERIE is basically nothing more than soft-core pornography trying to pass itself off as erotic literature. The stories are basically either perverted or updated versions of favorite fairy tales, but with a sexual twist. Most of the stories are also told from a female point of view. In this collection, Snow White becomes a gang-banging whore as she services all seven of the dwarfs at one time; Jack from the tale about the beanstalk is instead a female and finds that the magic beans raise a giant instead of a plant; Cinderella's Prince Charming has a foot fetish; the miller's daughter in Rumplestilskin has a thing for bondage; etcetera. Most of the writing is poor, reading more like a PEOPLE or COSMO magazine than anything else and when the stories could turn interesting, the writing stoops to the level of soft-core pornography. I don't recommend anyone reading this book, let alone buying it.
