Summary: In the opinion of someone who is not 13...
Comment: I've read other online reviews of this book and find that most of them are misguiding on behalf of the fact that they're written by teenagers, expecting teen angst, but who aren't even sophisticated enough to know what "erotica" means.
Erotica = erotic fiction, ie: fiction consisting of graphic sex.
Don't misjudge this book without reading it for yourself. Frankly, I think that this has been what FLB has been wanting to write for quite some time, but hadn't been able to for one reason or another. I have read every book by FLB sans Primavera, and find sex to be common ground for her. It's in the Weetzie Bat books, I was a Teenage Fairy, Violet & Claire, The Hanged Man, Ecstasia, Girl Goddess #9, The Rose and the Beast, Echo -- in all of these she shows sex to be a form of healing, and that's exactly what Nymph is about: healing through passionate love. If this concept evades your comprehension, I wouldn't recommend this book to you; otherwise, I think this is an exceptional book that deserves higher recognition and praise than Miss Block is receiving.

Summary: Block brings her own magical fairy-tales to adults
Comment: Trying to somewhat change directions, Francesca Lia Block, wrote "Nymph" a collection of short 'erotic' stories for adults. I personally have always questioned that her books were really ever exactly young adult in the first place. But none the less this book is decidedly more adult at least in it's language.
Block uses more blunt descriptions which is the only major change that I noticed. And to be honest at first it threw me off. Here are her wonderful tales of love and magic as she's always written but in the middle of these poetic words it's like it breaks for cheap erotica. This would be my only complaint and by probably the second story I was able to somewhat adjust and lose myself once again in her fairy-tales.
Picking a favorite of the stories would be difficult because they all really compliment each other. Sometimes it's a character from a previous story returning or even a setting but they all weave together to form a very fine collection of stories.

Summary: The Love
Comment: This book was extremely helpful to me in getting over a drug addiction. I truly believed in healing sex after this book. I would recommend this book to anyone. I think the bad reviews are from little girls who do not understand this type of text. I want to thank Ms. Block for opening my eyes to the soulmate theory and when reading this book, it helps me to relieze how special he is to me.
