I purchased this for my wife for Valentine's Day based on posted reviews. As others have noted, it is a well-written twist on some familiar (and not-so-familiar) fairy tales, erotic without being crude. It plays to some interesting fantasies, and I enjoyed reading it to her. The only downside was a bit of preachy feminism in a few of the tales - still, a worthwhile purchase.
I would have preferred fewer, longer, more in depth stories. Overall this book is average. But the book is very much as advertised. Some of the stories were better than others--they ran the full gambit from very sexy to totally boring. But in the end, none of them are long enough to tell a complete satisfactory story. Fairy tales with an erotic twist. Worth checking out.
Came in condition described within the estimated time frame. Overall a positive purchase experience.
Every story the female didn't like what was happening, but then suddenly she was fine with it.To me this was not a female positive book at all. When they found Goldy Locks in their house they surrounded her and started taking off her clothes.
I was definitely wrong. I bought this book because I was hoping for a sex positive book for females.
Instead of bears it was three men. Tons of the short stories were of women being taken advantage of.
For example, take Goldy Locks and the Three Bears. It sounded more like rape than sexy to me.
It was just suggesting the idea that women like being raped.
I enjoyed these stories quite a bit. This version is awful and ruined the whole point of the story. fit. These 2 stories and "Ugly Duckling" make the book worthwhile. Still, it sort of fit with the original tale. I enjoyed most of the others as well, but "Cat-Mouse" and "Mirror" were definately the most profound. I thought that taking a look at female sexuality through fairy tales was more of an exuse to write erotic stories, until I read "Cat and Mouse" and "Mirror on the wall". The others.
that said, I absolutley HATED what Madore did with "The Goose Girl". The original fairytale is a sad one, but I've always enjoyed it. Even "Goldilocks" which I didn't like that much either. "The Goose Girl" was completely ruined and very disappointing.
