Temptations : Igniting the Pleasure and Power of Aphrodisiacs

Rating:
Summary: Unfunny and grating but interesting nonetheless
Review: Fans of the Food Network's "Good Eats" will find a lot to like in this book that purports to be all about upping your potency and turning your partner on, but in actuality is really a bunch of food trivia. Interesting, yes. Will it improve your sex life? Doubtful.

The real turnoff here is the authors' irrepressible need to insert some schticky one-liner in every other paragraph. That would be fine if they were funny. Instead, they're sophomoric and annoying, and they make it difficult to read more than a couple pages at a time. It quickly becomes a test of endurance.

Summary: Temptations Tempts You to Read On!!!
Review: In my opinion, Michael and Ellen Albertson have basted, seasoned, and roasted up a winner with their new book "Temptations: Igniting the Pleasure and Power of Aphrodisiacs". Their writing is...and humorous,... I enjoyed browsing through the book's wonderland of little-known facts...facts were conveyed. Generally, I like any book that has enough of a daring twist to make it an adventurous journey as well as a valuable resource, and "Temptations" succeeds in doing just that. I highly recommend this to anyone with a heart and a stomach and a thirst for more than just a cookbook.
