Summary: I'd rather read War and Peace backwards TWICE...
Review: ...than read this book ever again. It's already in my bin of books to go to the used book store. I was bored most of the time and only slightly intrigued during the steamy scenes. Couldn't we have been given one sex scene with some mutual respect going on!? Skip this book. You've already seen the best part -- the cover.

Summary: A Great Novel; Not only for Women
Review: A super book. Lusty, witty, erotic, funny and outrageous. I know it was written by a woman for women, but I loved it, too. From the incredible opening scene, through the tumultuous loves and friendships of the four women, to the somewhat twisted and surprising ending, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Bravo, Linda!

Summary: Baloney and Processed Cheese
Review: Although this book is about two of my favorite things--food and sex--it was a little hard to swallow, for lack of a better term. The opening chapter is well-written and sexy, but the book falls apart soon after.The main characters are four women who eat food, have sex, and do little else worth mentioning. They're interchangable, forgettable variations on one another, and Jaivin's attempt to emphasize each one as she goes about her business inevitably chops what could be a good novel into a collection of erotic vignettes and dialogues, with a whole lot of filler in between. Is there a plot? After reading it once, I'm not sure, and in all honesty I'm not inclined to go back and find out. It's sexy at times, and it's funny at times, and Jaivin clearly has potential. But the book, neither memorable nor believable, misses its mark. Although not quite nauseating, "Eat Me" is unappetizing, a bit rough on the digestive system, and nutritionally void.

Summary: Sex and food...together again
Review: As far as commercial erotica goes, journalist and scholar Linda Jaivin's debut novel Eat Me is a unique excursion into the world of sensual tastes. It's 9 1/2 Weeks in a supermarket, an uninhibited look into the joys of calorie-laden, chocolate-coated ecstasy direct from the Land Down Under. Unlike the array of gothic, violent erotic fiction that seems to be crowded shelves these days, Eat Me is upbeat, at time hilarious (a letter-switching incident comes to mind) and baffling (you'll never watch David Letterman the same way again, I guarantee it). Jaivin writes a playful, sexy novel hotter than jalepeno and as smooth as French Silk pie. Jaivin takes the eroticism of food to a new level with Eat Me and is certain to leave many mouths watering.

Summary: laughed my way through it!
Review: At last! An erotic book written from a woman's point of view, with a sense of humor...I laughed my way all the way through it. A truly entertaining book!

Summary: Some Stories are really hot. Some are so-so
Review: But the covers are really interesting! I would say this is a thinking gal's erotica!

Summary: A taste of forbidden fruit!
Review: Eat Me isn't your typical women's erotica -- it is a novel full of intelligent dialogue and sharp wit. The novel's about four friends from Sydney -- Phillipa, Helen, Julia and Chantal -- who get together to dish out juicy details of their latest romantic exploits. The stories are rather explicit and sensuous. However, will they continue to open up about their fantasies and exquisite tales when Phillipa tells them that she's writing an erotic novel? Eat Me is like the forbidden fruit -- impossible to resist. This is one of the most original novels I have read in a long time. The vignettes within the novel are provocative and steamy. Jaivin is a wonderful writer of said genre and I look forward to reading more of her work...

Summary: I'M NOT HUNGRY!
Review: First off, I am not a literary snob. I am also not a prude. Nevertheless I have to admit that I found Eat Me as edible as a used condom. An interesting premise is beaten, raped and shot to death by too much self: self-indulgence, self-consciousness, self-absorption. And while some people may enjoy this, it does nothing for the local publishing industry.

Summary: Funny, wonderful, sexual imagination abound
Review: give this one a chance. You will be so glad you did. Eat Me is erotic, steamy, and lap slapping funny. Perfect for a short vaction read. If it's a romantic vacation it might help in other ways. Let your imagination wander.
