Quiver: A Book of Erotic Tales

Rating:
Summary: Quality characters, creative sex, quality erotica.
Review: I myself dabble in the penning of erotic fiction and I found that my own ideas on how it should be written in order to arouse were very different to Learner's. I felt I knew far too much about the characters. This did not allow me to be able to place myself in the story. If it is voyerism you are looking for, well this is a great book. However, if you want to be titilated and aroused, to be able to allow yourself to become a part of the action, this is not the book for you. A certain amount of anonymity I feel is necessary if the reader is able to imagine it is indeed themselves in the particular situation. It did concern me that the opening line of the book was "Sandra and Brian are a middle aged couple." I almost put the book down. But I battled on and learned some lessons. I wouldn't say this is a book that shouldn't be purchased, but please bear in mind that you may be disappointed if you are seeking something else.

Summary: Imaginative, well-written, and erotic
Review: This book has turned out to be one of my favorite books of erotic fiction. Unfortunately most "erotic" fiction turns out to be rather disappointing, either because it's not well-written or it's just not very erotic. But in Quiver, I was happily surprised to find a book of stories that are well-written and imaginative, with interesting characters, and which are also genuinely erotic.

Summary: Interesting and erotic.
Review: This is a very well-written collection of very graphic erotica. Not for those uninterested in something of value purely for its prurient interest, nor for those with extremely outre kinks, for those of us with a concept of the erotic vaguely within standard norms -- there's a bit of kink to be found here, but nothing that anyone unbothered by a bit of homoerotica will find truly unsettling -- these stories are excellent for getting the juices flowing. Further, they actually have plots and characterization, and few if any sloppy writing errors, all of which places them far beyond what seems to be the standard in the common run of books that depict graphic sex.

Summary: A little less talk and a lot more action...
Review: When I read an erotic novel I am not reading for a totally intense or thought provoking rush, I am reading it because it is a nice thoughtless dirty book. I had to keep skipping pages to get to the juicy parts of this novel. It was very irritating, not to mention the juicy parts were not so juicy (bizzare maybe) If I had wanted to keep skipping pages for lame smutt I would have bought a cheepy paperback romance novel for $5.99 I do however recomend the Anne Rice Sleeping Beauty trilogy as well as Behind Closed doors.
