I liked this book fine, though it's going to suffer endlessly from comparisons to Almond's superior "My Life in Heavy Metal." Some stories hit the mark better than others; for my part, I particularly liked "Summer, As In Love" (though I feel it could have used a stronger resolution) and "Larsen's Novel."

Still, fun, quick, entertaining read, and Almond is at his best when writing about sex and relationships. It makes my X chromosome twitch.

67585 I haven't read "Candyfreak." =) I think you'd probably like "Heavy Metal"...they're just good, solid, alive little stories.
