Summary: There's More Going on Here Than you Might Think!
Comment: "Talk Sex" with Sue Johanson (formerly the Sunday Night Sex Show) is a popular show in Canada and is growing in popularity here in the United States. Much of the show's success can be attributed to the host and resident sexpert, Suzie J, but there are others who worked behind the cameras, in the sound room, in the call screening area, and all around the set to make the show the smooth- running operation that it appears to be. In this book, "Nocturnal Admissions", authors RJ Gulliver and Julie Smith (two people who also work on the show) take the reader backstage to meet the folks who help bring Talk Sex into the living rooms of millions.
This book is part biography, part social tabloid. There is one full chapter that covers Sue herself, discussing her young life and her brief stint as a nurse and later a radio talk show host. It was the latter that led her to the television screen. Her phone- in radio show was successful to the point that a television producer decided it would also perform high in the television ratings. He gave Sue her chance, and the show took off like a bursting prophylactic.
The rest of the book presents a humorous look at the other people on the show and some of the funny moments that have taken place on the set, both on camera and off. Finding someone on the show to test the various sex toys is often hilarious, and so are some of the interesting phone calls that sexually curious people call in and ask Sue. Some of the best ones are highlighted in the book. Some of the individual crew members are discussed briefly, too, along with a few black and white photos so you can match a name to a face.
Watching Talk Sex gives one the feeling that Sue is just about the only person involved in the making of the show. Nothing could be further from the truth as RJ Gulliver explains in the pages of "Nocturnal Admissions". This book lets you get a feel (no pun intended) for the people, the hectic schedule, and the hard work that goes into the production of a live television show. Sue might be the main star, but there are plenty of people who go out of their way to make sure that sexual education remains an inportant part of your weekly viewing pleasure.

Summary: Simply Irresistible!
Comment: This book is as irresistible as its two subjects: Sue Johanson and sex. Put them together - as the Sunday Night Sex Show and Talk Sex do - and you're in for a wild ride, on screen and on the page. Fans all over North America are used to Sue's frank, non-judgmental approach to talking about sex, so it's fascinating to learn about the terror that lurked behind the show's first episodes - would this work? What vocabulary would be accepted?
As we know, it all worked - and then some. The book traces the evolution of the show and reveals its inner workings and the personalities that put it together. Plus some of the best calls -the ones that made it to air and the ones that didn't.
There's lots of laugh-lout-loud humour in this book, blended with good information. There's a gripping chapter about Sue's background and her transition from bored housewife to sexpert. And great detail about the contents of the infamous Pleasure Chest and the mystery of toys that get lost in the night...
A real pleasure to read and a great gift, too. Simply irresistible

Summary: Good but not what I thought
Comment: I thought this would be more about the callers that don't make it to tv. It was more about the people behind the scenes. I enjoyed it, but it was not what it sounds like.
