Summary: Very modern Black Lace
Review: This new Black Lace book is one of the funniest as well as most arousing in the series. Our heroine, Zita, sounds like she takes her wisdom of life from the pages of "B" magazine. Though it may offend some tastes, the fact that this young London hedonist is frequently portrayed taking club drugs while cattily complaining about this-and-that in her professional life makes her seem more "real" (at least in a glossy magazine's concept of "real") than most Black Lace heroines, who were of course totally experimental in regards to sex but squeaky clean in most other regards. Zita, as may be guessed, leads a debauched nightlife, despite her attempts to maintain a fashionably-together relationship with her steady; and, happily enough, a DJing best friend, Nadine, quickly progresses to being more than that. There are a happy abundance of sizzling scenarios in this book, including sex itself in many varieties but also well-crafted scenes of voyeurism and exhibitionism. Each scenario seems to have its own built-in escalations: the nasty gets nastier. And, despite her troubled though arousing life, Zita, who narrates, is a very funny and winsome woman, her obvious selfishness and general lack of scruples mating nicely with her sincere need to find out what to do. Written with one eye on the British women's comic novel genre of today, "Gone Wild" features a good number of very naughty little quotes that fans of "The Bad Girl's Guide to the Party Life" will greatly enjoy repeating in a stage whisper the next time they throw a bash. And, in the end, Zita finds a few serious things to hold onto in life: it just happens that polymorphous perversity is one of them! "Gone Wild" is indeed a very wild pornographic romp, in addition, it's very funny.
