Summary: Great item for my book club!
Review: Hi! I wanted to offer a different opinion than my fellow book club reviewer. I bought the book and found it to be exactly what it represented itself to be-- lighthearted, fun, true, short stories about geeks in Silicon Valley. I read it on the beach. It read very smoothly and quickly, and then I passed it on to one of my girlfriends to read. She read it all in one sitting and totally got a kick out of it. If you are looking for fun, lighthearted beach reading, or just an enjoyable book before bed, this is a good one. I recommended it to my book club. I hope this review is helpful to you. Thanks. -- BookClubLisa2

Summary: Entertaining! Came back to buy a second copy.
Review: I bought this book after seeing the author, Kiana Tower, on FOX-TV, and then hearing her on a radio station. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. What a funny book! I found the book so entertaining that I'm back here at Amazon.com buying a copy for a buddy of mine.I liked the stories because they were all short, fun to read, and each one told a different piece of the story of Bay area geeks either having sex, hoping for sex, or having no hope at all of getting any! Some of the stories had me laughing out loud! I ended up reading half of them to my wife: "Hey honey, listen to this one!" Like that other review said, truth is stranger than fiction! I found this book to be very entertaining.

Summary: Entertaining! Came back to buy a second copy.
Review: I heard the author on a radio show, and she was hilarious. So I got the book and it's just as funny. I was a little concerned that it was going to be total porn, but it wasn't. It's like when my friends and I get together and talk about sex. But funnier!

Summary: I wish I could give this book a negative rating!
Review: I would have to rate this book up there as one of the worst I've ever read. The author talks about people speaking freely because they were anonymous, I think it was more along the lines of people exaggerating freely because they were anonymous. I don't see how people in Silicon Valley have the time for sex at all, they are too busy online in chat rooms, playing with themselves while online in chat rooms and taking stupid surveys. Give us all a break, we don't need a sequel to this one.

Summary: One of the worst books I have ever seen
Review: One of the worst books I have ever seen. Definitely not what I expected. Basically, 300 guys in Silicon Valley fill up a web questioner and tell a story. You can almost see the questioner layout from the way the stories are told. It tries to be "al-la scientific", talking percentage and such, but as a research, it has no significant value. As education, it's a bench of stories with very little value or interest. And as reading, it is plain boring. Basically, it's light porn that dress up as a book. If you look for porn, go online. You can get on the web tons of hotter stuff. As a book about "sex in silicon valley", it doesn't tell you anything. I, for example, expected to see chapters, not stories, covering the subject. Not 300 people expressing some of their experience, in some cases, even before they came to silicon valley. Tell us where the guys at Silicon valley find dates, how the interactions goes. What happens in a small workplace where all workers are young, single, and don't have a life. Tell us how do people from different countries deal with it. Tell us about the married guys in this situation. Tell about the meeting point of ego, money, and sex. Tell us some gossip about large companies we all know about. Tell us what do those who don't do - do. Spice it with some anecdotal stories, but give us something interesting and valuable to read. That's what books are all about. Next time, if what you want is a collection of light-porn-semi-scientific-minimally-edited-teach-nothing-stories start a Bulletin board.

Summary: One of the worst books I have ever seen
Review: The collected stories in this book have little coherent organisation, no stellar writing to distinguish them, or other remarkable feature. They are no more, nor less than, a selection of letters from Norther Californians who had sex tales. It's little different than you might find in a liberated magazine, were you to collect the writings from a year or more.

Summary: It's like peeking into 100 bedroom windows!
Review: This book was an absolute riot! It was like peeking into 100 bedroom windows! This book was all about people in the Bay area talking about their dating stories, including stuff like dating disasters, and the most unusual place they've had sex. What funny stories! The best part is-- all the stories are true! I think anyone would enjoy this book, whether they live in the Bay area or not. They could totally relate to the challenges of trying to have a meaninful dating life when you spend most of your life locked away in a cube, or both the dating bliss, and the dating disasters, that result from trying to meet people online. This book is a must read for anyone who has ever been in the dating scene! I give it 5 stars!

Summary: scandalous!
Review: This was such a fun book. After reading it I was dying to talk about it - it's just one of those books you have to talk about with your girlfriends. So I bought copies for a few friends, and they loved it, too. I don't agree with the review below - I would love to read a sequel. Bring it on!
