The Kama Sutra (Abridged) Audiobook

" That's right, Bonnie read a dirty book. Snicker, snicker. What can I say? It came up in a fanfic story of mine and I was curious about this well-known "sex manual". It was ... unusual, a pretty mixed bag. The illustrations are indeed explicit but rather crude to the point of amusement and offered far fewer "positions" than I guess I thought were in the book. The instructions were at times somewhat romantic, at times bland, at times convoluted, and at times just worthy of a disbelieving headshake at the way times have changed and cultures can be so different and yet how many things in love and romance never change. "

" Only good if you have the patience to read all this weird indian stuff... needs pictures =oP "

" First, this is a French translation. I gave it two stars because that is the quality of my French, though I am sure it probably deserves more, as this is a classic. "

" Not as insightful as I'd hoped. Maybe I should get the picture book... "

" An interesting read. However, much better in its practical application, despite the difficulty in keeping the page open while in the throes of love making ! ) "

" what is all the fuss on this book? Stiff, mechanical, am I missing something? maybe I'll finish it before returning it to the library. or not. "

" I admit, I was sort of hoping it would be spicier even as I reminded myself that Kama Sutra is actually a book of cultural and historical significance. This version should be read from that standpoint. "

" I checked this out just for kicks, but I thought it was pretty cool. We can always learn more about pleasing our partner(s). It was informative and inventive ! "

" This one we didnt like at all.The positions were all too complicated and the illustrations were in black and white. "

" This book taught me that love-making comes from the heart. That when love is experienced sincerely, anything is possible. "

" This book is terrible. I gave it a two because I admit that it is slightly comical in a modern context, but it really just felt like a rape guidebook, which was awkward. "

" Vey Interesting book. It's almost like a cook book for making love or having sex. "

" O.K. another gift from my hip mom, and no, I did not read the entire book.............. "

" Not what I expected at all. :( "

" Ha ha ha no pictures and in a foreign language, not quite what I expected! "

" A lot of text instead of instructional photos. But the interactive pop-ups aid in that area. Beautifully done and well constructed pop-ups...except the first one in my used copy is broken. :( Expect to learn some Indian culture. "

" i didn't know i could put my foot there too... "

" Just great. We westerners take classes of everything, tennis and golf, for example? But we assume that we do not need them here... "

" Bored out of my skull, and disgusted by some of it. What was more interesting to me was the expected social aspects of courtship and marriage. "

" So, this is the best translation by the experts. It reads like a dry history text and figuring out any useful information is rather wearing. I suspect the Burton translation, while less reverent, is probably more useful. "
