"A friend gave me this book before I lost my virginity. Wow, was it ever an eye opener. If you have not read it, let me tell you, measure how much your prudery can take.
In the snuff movie at the beginning, a woman puts in a pair of steel false teeth and bites a man dick and balls right off. In another spot, a woman has a snake who lives in her vagina, and it bites!! OMG that scared the woohoo out of me.
I doubt this will be found on the local bookstore shelf. I never forgot it though."
"My rating of 2 stars is a little unfair because if someone else had written it I probably would have given it 3 stars. I just really like Farmer and don't think this book did justice to his talent."
"Trashy sex aside, Farmer gets at some interesting ideas in this book, and offers intriguing twists on some standard sci-fi tropes. The sex scenes have a surprising amount of both humor and ickiness, giving even the porn a subversive quality. If you're going to go for something in the increasingly popular erotic fantasy genre, why not go all the way with Mr. Farmer? It'll be weirder, grosser, and more rewarding."
