Title: A lot of ore for a few golden nuggets
Review: Okay, I admit I don't know how anthologies work, and maybe some of the stories couldn't be more tightly edited for this book, because they had already been published, elsewhere. That's one possibility, but it only addresses one issue: the editing. Unfortunately, it was the nature of many of the stories themselves that I found off-putting, because of the heavy handed handling of the subject matter. Eros is a state of mind and as such it takes many forms, but an over reliance on descriptively graphic details of "orifice plugging" is not, in my opinion, erotic; that's about as sexually stimulating as pulling weeds."Mitsuko", however, is solid gold.
Is the review positive or negative?
