Dr. Sprinkle's Spectacular Sex

Annie Sprinkle

You know you've come to the end of your reviewing rope when you can't think of anything to say about a sex manual. But, well, here I am.

It's an enjoyable book, don't get me wrong-- a romp with Annie Sprinkle is always fun. Annie Sprinkle has a perspective on sex that most of us will never achieve (no matter how much we'd like to), and her insights are most welcome. But the book never grabbed me, never slapped me around and said "you must read me now," ending up taking me almost eleven weeks to finish.

There's a good deal to like here. The subject, obviously, is sexual self-help for those whose love lives have taken a turn for the boring, and as long as you're willing to buy into some of the more new age-y techniques recommended, there are all sorts of interesting things here to try. Be prepared for a slow read, however.
