Summary: Captivating
Comment: Having read and enjoyed several other of Dean Barrett's books and after reading the description on the cover I was not expecting to be so captivated with Mistress of the East. It was a new experience reading about female dominance. The author engages the reader with so much skill that one becomes frightfully involved with the book.
Rating: 5
Summary: Erotic and Much More!
Comment: I have to say I loved this book. It is set in China in 1862 when Taiping rebels were fighting against the Manchus. An American soldier is captured by an all-female brigade of Taiping women and this leads to whipping, domination, sex, sexual tension, etc., etc. But it is presented as a true story as if a manuscript of the man himself has recently been discovered. It rings as true as non-fiction and is far more literary than the normal book from Blue Moon. The second half of the book is very moving as well. Love, sex, erotica, femdom, things Chinese, well researched, deeply moving, etc., etc. This one has it all. Don't miss it!
Rating: 3
Summary: A pleasant diversionary tale.
Comment: An Interest-holding story with which to get through a lazy afternoon or a plane ride. Barrett does a great job of introducing and finishing the story with his pre and post notes that hint as if Rowley was a real person and theses are real memoirs. I don't rate this higher because I had trouble identifying Rowley as a character. Rowley doesn't give the impression that he's fallen "in love" with his captor (though he no doubt believes that he has), but rather he's been brainwashed by her. His actions and attitude indicate psychological injury not unlike a Patty Hearst Syndrome, and the reader ends up feeling a pathetic pity towards Rowley. Again, the best parts of the book are Barrett's own narratives, which entice you to research these Taiping warriors and learn more about this period of Chinese history. An ample escapist story to tide you over, but a far cry from 5 stars.
