Rating:  Summary: First book of "this kind" I've ever read...gimme' more... Review: I agree with one of the previous "reviewers" that the ending did seem like a bit of a cop-out. The conclusion was abrupt, but I guess I only feel that way because of the great story line that led up to it. I have to admit, when I began reading it I was a little embarrased by my purchase and suddenly remembered the expression on the book store clerk's face when I brought it to his register. But I continued to read, and didn't stop reading it that evening, until I was finished and left wanting more. Looking forward to see what she comes out with next.
Rating:  Summary: More disjointed stories than a cohesive novel....... Review: I had such high hopes for this book. I really wanted to like it. Unfortunately, it didn't happen! The story of 4 Australian women has it's share of very erotic prose. The combination of food and sex results in a feast for the senses. However, those parts in between are long and often dull. I found the book to be more separate vignettes with threads that only occasionally tied each chapter together, rather than a flowing piece of fiction. Still, some of the juicier parts are worth the read....just skip the rest!
Rating:  Summary: great for us beginners... Review: I loved it! Easy read and so entertaining. Perhaps those that did not enjoy the book are a little too uptight!

Rating:  Summary: The Thinking Girl's Erotica Review: I read this in the Houston airport, the cover and title displayed proudly, shocking the passersby, as I laughed until tears rolled down my face. From the first chapter, this book sucks you in, so to speak, and takes you on a hilarious ride. I could see a little of myself and my friends in each of the characters in this book. It's definitely not to be disregarded as "just porn" - it's well-written, the characters are nicely developed, and there are many valid philosophical issues raised throughout, especially from Helen, the Women's Studies teacher. Nice twist at the end, too. Read this book!
Rating:  Summary: Never judge a book. . . Review: I REALLY wanted to like this book, but. . .I didn't. I forced myself to finish it which I haven't done with a book in a long, long time. I left it on the airplane when I was done, so apologies to the unsuspecting person who thought they happened upon a "find."

Rating:  Summary: Unsophisticated - cliche, politically correct Review: If you like poor character developement and favor a mindless attempt at erotica - this bud's , er book's for you. I sincerely hope women do not fantasize "politically correct" scenarios where they end up on top ALL THE TIME. I found this book very unrealistic, the characters cliche, and the erotica....limp.
Rating:  Summary: Yummy : ) Review: Little did I know (another innocent reader) what the pictures on the covers represented...even more than that, the first chapter was mindblowing!!! I never thought fruits and cucumbers were so tasty and beautiful. This is an erotic that won't be embarressing to be caught reading in the doctor's office or on the subway.
Rating:  Summary: It's disgusting, perverted....I loved it! Review: Oh my gosh...never in my life have I read such a perversion of the English language. It made me sick to my stomach, and at the same time made me laugh aloud. Candy is a true gem of literature, I recomend it to anyone with a strong stomach!
