Summary: Best book I've read in...well, heck, its on my top 5!!!
Comment: I absolutely LOVED this book. Intrigued by the cover, and the fact that its set in my hometown I bought it. I really didn't expect much more then a way to occupy time ... boy was I wrong! It consumed my life for two days!! I was always surprised, it was never predictable, and as a previous reviewer said, I really felt as if I was reading non-fiction. It drew me into a world I still feel ... its as if I know Nora and Ian and M., and i grieve for Franny. God I loved this book!! Shocking,yes, but its excellent! I read it a week ago and so far have bought two copies for friends and loaned out mine. Ive told so many people about Topping, I feel like I should stock this book in my store! I can't wait for her next book .... Laura....please hurry :) END

Summary: Houston HPEP Reading Group Raves!!!
Comment: Yes, you've heard from me (vixen) before - but i just wanted to say that the HPEP Reading/Movie S.I.G.that Master and i host recently finished our own discussion of "Topping From Below" and it was one of our best meetings yet!!! All the folks who read the book found something compelling to talk about - be it the issue of consensuality, the culpability of the Dominant in the death of Fran, or the realism of the S/M scenes...all who read the novel were somehow moved, (my Master says i am prejudiced because i fell in love with the character 'Michael" - but i remind Him that it was only because He bears such a striking similarity to "His truly" - i have to admit when Master dressed for the meeting in the unpretentious debonair fashion of 'M' - right down to the silky shirt with rolled-up sleeves, i found myself in such a state that i could barely conduct the group)... But then, my friends, that just helped to illustrate the powerfull evocative nature of the characters described, and how intensely "genuine" the experiences of the heroine were presented. (*sigh*)
By the way, the Doms loved it too, and were almost unanimously defensive of M's relative innocence.
To reiterate, "Topping From Below" is a tremendous book, on many levels, and a very special BDSM literary find. Read it alone, or with your Dom/or sub... MWvixen

Summary: thriller, yes; erotic, no
Comment: As a psychological thriller, this book would get 5 stars. It has a great plot, lots of twists and suspense, and the characters were well developed. I really felt Franny's pain. As an erotic novel, I would give it 1 star. Now, i'm no prude, I like a good spanking scene as much as the next girl, but parts of this book made me want to vomit. If bestiality (sp?) is your thing, read it, if not you may want to stay clear. So depending on what you are looking for, you may enjoy it, but it was a bit too hardcore for my tastes.
