Book Review of The Surrender : An Erotic Memoir

The Surrender : An Erotic Memoir

Helpful Score: 1


Finally, a frank book about female sexuality! Toni Bentley writes about her sexual odyssey and its culmination -- an obsessive affair with a man who introduced her to the joys of sodomy -- with freshness, honesty and a remarkable lack of bashfulness. The book is very sexy, and at times absolutely hilarious. Not for the easily offended: Bentley not only calls a sexual spade a spade, she takes potshots at the opposite sex, the dating scene, anti-sodomy laws in various American states and, last but not least, herself. A page-turning gem.
