4.0 out of 5 stars Yeah, Pretty Good Stuff, April 14 2007
This review is from: Five-Minute Erotica (Paperback)
A very enjoyable book with bite size stories that don't waffle about with excess padding. The storyline is established and cuts to the action very quickly. It is a collection of erotic stories by different writers so each has a different style and feel about it. That is not a bad thing and on the whole most of the stories are excellent. The odd one, perhaps leaves you feeling a bit short, you feel they could have taken the bit in their teeth (or something else) and taken the story on a bit further, but on the whole it is very good. I found that it was a good book to open for a few minutes read to perk you up for the day. I particularly liked THE BOUNTY OF SUMMER by Carol Queen, that was very erotic story. I would highly recommend the book. Another book I would recommend that you have a look at, which has perhaps a stronger sexual content, is 100 PERCENT EROTICA by Suzie Van Aartman. This book could well become a classic in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is Destined to be a Classic, April 14 2007
This review is from: 100 Percent Erotica (Paperback)
An incredible book and very aptly titled, in my opinion, the way the love making is described in such intimate and erotic detail is truly amazing, its almost as if you are watching from two feet away. I can honestly say that I've read nothing quite like this before. It's so natural and believable and the characters are ordinary people of different ages, shapes and personalities, people you meet at work or in the street and I think that is what makes it so erotic. The stories themselves as well as being extremely erotic are very believable. There is just enough storyline that builds up to the climax (pardon the pun) to make you feel part of the story. All the characters are sexual artists and a lot of them are incredibly well endowed, they really take you through a masterpiece of erotic pleasure. The writing style is so fresh and varied, almost as if it is written by different authors and the way Suzie describes the action, well it is almost as if you are actually taking part. I look forward to reading more by this lady in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, and I haven't even finished it yet, April 8 2007
What a revelation this book is and speaking from a man's point of view it is an essetial education. The stories are so real and believable, it is almost as if you are taking part and are actively involved in the action. I have read quite a lot of erotic fiction over the years and this one stands out, even though I havent even finished reading it yet. So many others seem to give you the feeling that they are stopping short and not going all the way, this book goes all the way. Highly recomended. One of the best. For another highly erotic and very sexually explicit read, check out Suzie Van Aartman's, 100 Percent Erotica.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mammaries Are Made Of This, April 5 2007
This review is from: Big Book of Breasts (Hardcover)
This book is very well titled. Everything about it is big, including the physical size of the book itself. Its not one you can slip past your wife unnoticed. It's a joy to look at though. Famous names from the past such as Paula Page and Linda West. (Now she is the sort of woman you could happily marry) A cavalcade of great beauties, (and gorgeous women) on every turn of the page that will take your breath away. It puts me in mind of the erotic magazines of many years ago, that were filled with just pictures of beautiful goddesses. It would be wonderful to see those stars as they are now.

The book goes through the decades and all the models are a joy to look at. None of your scrawny cat walk size 0s here, just full figured natural womanhood. Also included are the very well endowed Chesty Morgan and the ultimate of ultimates, Norma Stitz. If you like your women well developed then this is the book for you. I would highly recommend it. Also in a similar vein, if you like erotic stories about mature well proportioned women (and indeed men) then have a look at 100 PERCENT EROTICA by Suzie Van Aartman.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sex Education at its Best, April 5 2007
What a great book this is and what an eye opening education also. It illustrates a lot of the ideas that most of us have in our minds already, plus many more that we have probably fantasized about, but have been too shy to suggest to our partners. Now there it is in black and white, it's the sort of book that you could use as an ice breaker, either given to, or better still, read with your partner. It certainly gives a new spice to love making. I have purchased a number of books on the subject recently and my wife thinks I'm going through a second puberty, which I'll take as a sort of a compliment as we are both in our fifties. So many thanks Jane; you've made a reborn youngster very happy. I can highly recommend it. In a fictional vein, another recent purchase that I can highly recommend is Suzie Van Aartman's book entitled 100 PERCENT EROTICA, very explicit and very erotic, check it out.
