Susie Bright Presents: Three Kinds of Asking for It: Erotic Novellas by Eric Albert, Greta Christina, and Jill Soloway

Of the three novellas presented here, two are really wonderful.... The works of Eric Albert and Greta Christina are both entertaining and original, each presented with a perfect dose of humor and eroticism. With believable characters and fast-moving writing, both of these works are fast and enjoyable reads, and in all honesty, this collection is worth searching out for them alone.

On the other hand, the third novella simply isn't up to the level of the other two. Told from the point of view of an immature 14-year-old who comes across as being unbelievably ditzy and unlikable, the work simply wanders. Where I read each of the other novellas in a single respective sitting, I couldn't stand the annoying pov of this novella for more than a show more few pages at a time, and while I finally powered through the last twenty pages of it today, just to be done, it simply wasn't enjoyable, or even particularly well-written. This may be the view some individuals have of teenagers, but most teenagers actually aren't quite this dumb and unthinking, not to mention inconsistent.

Simply, the first two novellas in the collection are well worth the read, funny and original and clever. The last one is one to skip. show less
