discocrow's review against another edition
4.0
I received this book through the first-reads program.
While this isn't the sort of thing I normally read (My reviews of the [b:Fifty Shades of Grey|10818853|Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades, #1)|E.L. James|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1300842729s/10818853.jpg|15732562] series a notable exception) I actually enjoyed this. [a:James Wood|26341|James Wood|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1336718983p2/26341.jpg] did a wonderful job imitating the writing of the older erotic novel writers, or, say, [a:Anais Nin].

James|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1308409727p2/4725841.jpg]'books, and in a brilliant language. Good book, if terribly short. I have to wonder how many people are using this as an instruction manual...
