"Very erotic, imaginative story told in very sensual prose; however, the best part to me were the various parenthetical chapters where the author attacks hypocrisy, pornography, lawyers, politicos, and especially, organized sports. This is a very enjoyable read and I guess it's not really important to know when things are real and when they are imagined."
"The book is a bit difficult to read, a bit too heavy but if you managed to get through it, you get a kind of inspiration for the small love rituals, the small details that brings beauty and excitement in our love life."
