After reading Zane, I definitely want to do a Zane book club at my library. Of course, I would probably be instantly fired, but hey, it would probably be worth it :) She writes with this hilarious mixture of sentimentalism and rawness. Seriously, why is it that after all of the women in her stories have wild, crazy sex with random men, there's this little paragraph at the end in which they end up married, or living together, or otherwise happily linked? It is freakin hilarious, and sad really. E More...

Waste of time and money! I had to buy this for class, i can't believe shit like this can actually get published. And it's not like Zane is a bad writer, i have read two other books by her that were fairly good and enjoyable. This is just a compilation of contrived sex scenes and it borded me. Bad storytelling, punctuating, everything!

The book did not have the creativity that makes a writer a writer, that something special that seperates a writer worth being published from anybody waving a pen. A More...

If you like your erotica with a plot, this is not the book for you.
If you like your erotica with character development, this is not the book for you.
If you like your erotica with romance, this is not the book for you.
If you think foreplay is a golf term, this book is for you.
Short 4-5 pages of slam bam sex.
Not what I thought it would be.

I'm a big fan of erotica, especially erotica written by women (women know what women want). One reason I am a fan of Zane is b/c she is an African American erotic writer. She writes what she knows, which is honestly (and obviously) what I don't. I really enjoyed the different perspective :)

Was just as amazing as the Original Sex Chronicles! However, This book contains at least 5-7 stories from the Original Sex Chronicles. So I was a little disappointed but the stories were all good as always. I would recommend any Zane fan to read this anthology because it's great :)

This book just didn't do it for me and honestly i'd rather just watch porn! It had steamy moments and to be fair there was one part in this book that i found particularly hilarious but overall i found it bland. It felt like i was reading poorly written soft core porn scripts.

Unfornetely I only read half of this book, because I left it in class, came back it was gone lol:)
But, from what I had read so far was very interesting and good, but hey! it's Zane and I love all her books so I'm not surprised that this one was great also. Although, my book came up missing I will be back at the stores or my local library picking me up a couple more by her!

A friend recommended this book and said they were short erotic stories. WOW........really really hot!! If you want to try something different then pick up a Zane book and give it a try. But if its not your cup of tea then just bypass this author.

After a while you get bored, it's like watching a porno and after the first sex scene or orgasm, you've had enough! I don't think I've finished this book and i bought it when it came out! I'm just glad that she made Nervous into a full length book.

not that i get into erotic literature but from what i understand anais nin is like the pinnacle of beautiful artistic erotic literature. not that ive read anais nin. but this shit is just trash what i imagine to be on the opposite end of the spectrum from anais nin. like its gratuitous and graphic for no reason. no story no plot. my friend put me up to this shit i also feel it was a waste of time.

This was my first freaky book that I have ever read. I was instantly Hooked on erotic fiction after this. This book to me is one of zane's best! She should stick to straight short stories lol. I like this book a lot. Read It!

Some of the stories in this book were overtly sexual while others were milder. There is a level for every reader of erotic fiction to enjoy in this book.

If you enjoy very erotic stories that can provide visions with every word that you read...this is definitely a book for you.

This is not a novel, I would put it on par with "Letters to Penthouse". Not to say there isn't a market for this, but...

OOH...this needs to be read at night, in bed, and oreferably with a man. This was very steamy.

The Sex Chronicles...where do I begin? It's short stories put together by Zane that have people and their sexual escapades. This book has everything. Some things are shocking...and some things are just flat out crazy but either way this book grabs your attention from the first page.

I liked the book although some books like Triple Crown they have more than just sex like the have the thug drug dealer who is in a situation. After a while you already know what's going to happen so it's like why read More...

Hot but also repetitive. Sex can be hot and nasty too.
