Negative Positive
Title: Erotic and Real
Review: I had never heard of the author Nikki Gemmell before I purchased "The Bride Stripped Bare", but I'm very glad I did. It's about a suburban housewife who feels stifled in her marriage and yearns for something more. Sounds familiar and trite, but the book is not. In diary format it tells the story of her journey of self discovery of her sexual needs and desires and is beautifully, even lyrically, written. As I read I kept thinking, "Yes, this rings true, I recognize these feelings." There are graphic accounts of sexual pleasure, so be forewarned, but there are also sharp insights into intimate relationships. This book may be classified as erotica but it is literature, unlike the currently popular "steamy" novels. The book will probably appeal most to women, but any man reading it will get some insight as to what goes on in a woman's head.
Is the review positive or negative?
