I took another short break from my goal to read all discworld novels. A Goodreads review on The Virgin Student had caught my eye by coincidence, so I took a day off from Terry Pratchett to read it.
The Virgin Student originally was a blog, turned quite nicely into an eBook. The blog was started in summer 2005 by an Oxford student who had just done her finals. Being 21 and still a virgin, she decided to go on a quest to lose her virginity before leaving college in three weeks time. The blog quickl...more

This is a curious little find but I'm glad that I did. This is a short story that stems from a blog that appeared a few years ago and keeps that same format which made it an easy and fun read on my Kindle.

What a fun book. The new and popular tv series of Sherlock has Dr Watson writing a blog instead of a journal and Face Book and other social media are full of trails and tribulations of the minutae of peoples lives. Writing a blog about losing your virginity is perhaps then another part of the distance, (assumed) anonymonity and yet comfort that cyberspace can bring. It does however remain an emotive topic and as this book demonstrates, people perceive sex and even the act of losing your virginit...more
As I was reading this story/blog I was reading as if it was real. I had no reason to doubt why it isn't real and still don't. What an interesting journey the Virgin Student has been on, good for her getting out there and meeting new people. No matter what happened in the end she would always come away a little bit more knowledgeable (even if it is just about stick insects!), and indeed it seems she made some real friends out of the whole experience.

I really enjoyed this story. I loved the fact that it was based around a blog and how this blog took over the virgin student's life, a bit like how some forums take cover mine!!
I loved the lesson's behind it, from peer pressure to sex and sexuality. I liked that you got to read some of the blog and then read what the author was actually thinking too, especially regarding some of her dates!
I would recommend this to anyone
