Disappointing
|
I really liked Suzanne's first book, `The Butcher, The Baker, The Candlestick Maker', but this book seems very repetative with many of the stories re-told.
Disappointing - buy the first book but give this a miss.

I love this writer
|
If you enjoyed Suzanne's first book, `The Butcher, The Baker, The Candlestick Maker', then you will love this book too. If you haven't read it then go and buy both of them together.
Its funny, heartwarming and I read the whole thing cover to cover in two days. Suzanne shares the kind of experinces and life lessons that we don't all get to live but would maybe like too.... 5 stars

Review from an Erotic Novelist in the making
|
This book is mouthwateringly addictive! It has wit, intelligence and pure erotic sexual encounters...what more can a woman want?
Suzanne Portnoy is fantastic! I have read both of her books and she is a blessing to women around the world who want a grippingly sexy read!
If you ever read two books in your life make sure it's these ones!
Pure genius!

Porn or erotica?
|
Either way, this is it. It details the sexual exploits of a late 40's mum of 2. A decade or two ago this would have been 'racy' or even 'outrageous' but today its good, old fashioned soft porn. Credit to Ms Portnoy's frankness and openness but, like most current sex bloggers (Abby Lee for example), the novelty has worn off.
Take away the oh-my-god-she's-a-mum-of-two factor and what you are left with is a list of expolits of a modern swinger. There's nothing liberating here and despite her protestations you get the distinct feeling that she isnt very happy. Its a good non challenging read for anyone who's lived a sheltered life or who wants some cheap vicarious thrills.

A cracking good read, written by a pioneering sexual adventurer
|
Suzanne Portnoy has the kind of sexual adventures most people, male and female, only dream about, and her second memoir takes things to another level. But this isn't some Hollywood fantasy. I've known her for several years, and this 45-year-old businesswoman and single mother is living proof that anyone who wants a sex life like hers can have it if they really want to.
This book - whose backdrops range from a naturist sauna to backstage at a fetish party to a Travelodge at Heathrow, to name only a few of them - is guaranteed to turn you on. Highly recommended!
