Search - The Blonde Geisha

I don't know how the author can be a "sexspert" and live in Japan and yet somehow know nothing about geisha.
Geisha were not high class prostitutes, or courtesans, and were not obsessed with sex - that's an age-old Western misconception that she does nothing to dispel and everything to reinforce.
She doesn't even bother to deal with the training period geisha go through, just skips to the (quote unquote) good part about selling virginity - and a sex-obsessed western 18-yr-old girl hiding in a teahouse. And the idea that geisha run around with expensive kimono with nothing underneath- and oops their obis just always come undone... good grief.
And even that... she doesn't get it on but one time at the end of the book, so it's not even a proper erotic novel.
If you want a one-night read and don't care about reinforcing stereotypes of Asian women (and no, I'm a white girl writing this) and mockeries of other cultures histories and traditions - be my guest. But this is pulpy trash, I was severely disappointed.

I considered throwing it in the garbage rather than posting it on here and subjecting another human being to it.

The prose is so purple. I mean, who uses phrases like 'dear little slit' and 'most honorable penis' SERIOUSLY? It would have been laughable. Until I reviewed it saying so on amazon.com, and I'm not kidding, the author's friends cyberstalked me for months, calling me a racist and a liar. They found and posted my full name on anonymous boards. I guess I'm just lucky they didn't find my social security number.

This is the worst book I've ever read, due to literally trying to ruin my life. I can't wait to be rid of it.

That's right, no stars. It's perfectly horrible. Overwritten & implausible: Imagine a young girl falling for a man who flashes her. Bad bad bad bad BAD.
