Customer Reviews

I wish someone could confirm!

I think I bought this book (like the above reviewer) in high school. Then over the years, I lent it out and it's gone. But I believe there to haave been one poem in it entitled "I am horny". Is this the same book? The TOC information is not here. If it is, than this not-well-known poem expresses a feeling that I honestly don't think I've ever seen in print before. Brilliant.

A decent erotica collection

On one of those nights as a broke high school senior, I found this book in the nearby bookstore where my friend and I were hanging out for the evening. I think I read most of the book standing by the shelf where I had found it, and even though I didn't have much more money than that, I shelled out the bucks for this book. It was very eye-opening for me... if you think you have a bit of the erotic adventurer in you but are new to erotic writings, you might consider giving this one a try. It runs the range of different scenarios, and there is poetry as well as prose, which sets this collection apart from many other erotic collections of recent years. Give it a try, and see what you think!
