1.0 out of 5 stars never worth £75, 25 Aug 2008
This review is from: Literotica: The Best of Literotica.Com (Paperback)
This is an anthology of stories, the likes of which are also on the Literotica.com website. The ones chosen cover a wide range of interests, so dilute the enjoyment for those with fixed turn-ons, as is so often the case with sexual desire and stimulation. For example, a lover of leather is not going to be attracted to stories about being nude 24/7. A lesbian story enthusiast won't want text about loving hetero couples. Could only appeal to those with a generic interest. However, they are well written though on the website the choice is wider and more varied.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, 29 Dec 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Literotica: The Best of Literotica.Com (Paperback)
This book is truly a compilation of some of the best stories submitted to Literotica.com. I have been a member of that site since it's birth and the authors and stories here have become legends of the Literotica Community. These stories are honestly wonderfully written. I can't say it enough : This book is well worth every penny! I can't wait to see if there is going to be a volume 2!

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written and erotic, 30 April 2004
By paul tippetts - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Literotica: The Best of Literotica.Com (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book. I admit to being a long term contributor to Literotica as PAUL C.

Not all the subject matter was necessarily to my taste but all the stories are very well crafted and well written.

To regular visitors to such sites as Literotica some of the stories may be over long and the sex scenes not as explicit as they would be used to. That said, if it is an erotic read you are looking for rather than porn then this is probably as good as any you will find.

4.0 out of 5 stars Above average internet erotica, 29 Jun 2009
By TammyJo Eckhart "TammyJo Eckhart" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Literotica: The Best of Literotica.Com (Paperback)
I don't mean to belittle anyone who writes erotica or anything for the masses of the Internet to consume. That takes courage. As with most mass project though, as with most anthologies of published material, there will be winners and losers among the number of stories. Of the 11 stories here, voted on as most popular on the site and one written just for this collection by Dixon Carter Lee, I can say that 6 of them were above the average of what I've seen online and the rest were ok for both online and published fiction. Nothing was horrible, trust me, I've read or attempted to read some truly horrible fiction online.

My favorite is Patricia Day's "Still Life With Teeth" that examines eating disorders and their damage to sexual relationships. It's harsh, intense, and sadly very realistic of how someone with an eating disorder might look at the world.

Mike Tauron's very short "Lunch with Rita" tackles the issue of age and prostitute in a unique way. "Indigo" from Julie Lemolo is sexy without explicit sex and I love when a story can pull that off so well in so few pages.

"A Fireman's Prayer" by Dixon Carter Lee is a modern romance while Anessa Ramsey's "The Games We Play" is a nice historical romance -- both authors should move to the romance gender and make excellent money.

Maggie Redux's "Whiff" also tackles difficult subjects again age but also racism in a positive fashion. Nicolas Travers offers us a glimpse into a very sad man's life in the first two chapters of "Vast".

The other stories just seemed to lack a strong focus on characters or perhaps they were just not my sort of thing though I'd say most of the stories here are honestly "not my sort of thing". Perhaps they might be yours.

For a collection of 11 stories this as good as many anthologies I've read and it's nice to see folks brave enough to open their minds up to the world online getting a little time in book form.
