A 'Novel' Guest Review By Leigh Wood
After one too many viewing's of the 1992 BBC production of Lady Chatterley, I finally broke down and read the book. I thought the 1928 unedited version of Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence would be a tough book to find. Expensive, rare, old... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 2. |  | The Back Passage
from Cleis Press
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
The Back Passage is a fab read. It is like Agatha Christie (which I love) with astonishingly frequent sex, some seriously funny moments and a murder mystery to boot.
Our hero Mitch is on holiday at an English country side home with his friend, and soon to be lover, Boy Morgan. While not... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Kensington
Price: $13.50
Customer Review:
It was difficult for me to "feel" the romance in this story. Most of the time, it felt as if Ms Schone was trying a tad too hard in sounding mysterious, what with all the one-liners, cryptic allusions to vague events and people, repeated self-contemplations, and dark thoughts left hanging (with... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 4. |  | The 158-Pound Marriage
from Random House
Customer Review:
This is the second book I've read by Irving, and I have to admit he's quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.
The book is about two married couples who meet well after they've each established a family and mode of life. Though neither couple seemingly would have considered such a thing... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

Although I am not much of a fan of anthologies, since the short excerpts are frustrating, this collection of some great Victorian erotica was fun to read .....

Customer Review:
"When the telegram announcing my father's death arrived, I felt nothing except irritation at the thought of having to go home, attend the funeral, and come back."
Quentin Crisp is not a likeable human being. About one quarter way into this book, I was tempted to throw it aside for good. But... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I wish I could give this book a negative number. Yes, its that bad.
If poor character development, confused plotting, a wishy washy heroine, a cold and manipulative male leads and clinical repetitive sex scenes are your idea of a good read, this is the book for your. Otherwise, steer clear.more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 10. |  | The Spell
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
Well, I guess the headline sums up my opinion of this book. Trite, unnecessary wordy, overly verbose relative to setting, the plot is at best mildly engaging. A father-son gay team, (not lovers, just familial), a protagonist and his ex-lover, and a mix of infidelities are mixed together with an... more info | 3.5 / 5.0
