Customer Reviews

great book

I got Breslin's name from a blurb on the back of J Eric Miller's "Animal Rights and Pornography" and so got this book. "You're a Bad Man, Aren't You?" is a terrific collection. The stories are edgy but literate, and together they form a wonderful whole. I read more about Ms Breslin online, and she's quite interesting. I hope for an opportunity to read her novel on the porn industry when it's published.

Pretty Amazing Stuff

The author, whom I saw once on Politically Incorrect, has a great knack for taking unexpected turns when you least expect it. What I thought was going to be a straight-forward book of dirty tales turns out to be a strangely heartfelt but still disturbing journey. I only hope to read more of her work in the near future.

Jaw-dropping Innovation

When I got to the story entitled "F is for Fornophilia" I had to put the book down for a moment and just wait until I could go on. In this story, the fetish subculture that likes to make furniture out of human beings is illustrated by a woman who claims "I am a lamp" as she is standing, sweating, with a lampshade on her head. This isn't pro-porn, and it's not anti-porn, and it itself is not porn. What, in point of fact, is it? It's nothing I've ever seen before - honest. It's funny and horrifying, sexual and sterile, smart and blunt... if this could please become a new genre, I'll add a bookshelf to my wall for it. Definitely the most interesting read this year. I read it for the insane sex, but I loved it for the insane humor.
