A Frigga'n Good Read!

This coming of age book is one that all women (and men) should discover and read. I must admit. When I first saw this title on my wife's book, I was a bit disgusted. I had read many of her Cosmopolitan magazines, but none prepared me for this! But i have changed since then. Let me tell you men, if your thinking about a "romantic" night out with a loved one, use this as a primer. Trust me, you'll thank me later. It was thrilling to read this sensuous book, especially the twenty-fifth chapter. Heck! I'd buy it just for that! Vivid word pictures and excessive use of connotation lace this glorious book together to make it one outstanding read!
