review 1: Frankly, my expectations couldn't have been any lower. I read all the Amazon.com 1 star reviews. I scorned the idea publicly.And then I caved and picked up a copy from the library, Ada comfortably settled on my hip. I scored a young librarian, probably somewhere around my own age, but I was in Mommy-running-errands mode and it hadn't even really occurred to me to be too embarrassed about my choice, at least until she carefully and obviously put the book face down on the counter and slid it across to me with . . . was that actually a wink?! "Book club selection," I found myself mumbling inexplicably. "Meeting tomorrow. Probably won't even read the thing."I was uncomfortable. Who knew?! I started reading and taking notes about what I didn't like. Within a couple of hours, I'... mored already laughed aloud three times and put down my pen. There were parts that might have been better, parts that I didn't feel entirely comfortable with or had trouble believing. But over all . . . I really enjoyed the book! Which is not to say that Paul and I are going to attempt such a marathon ourselves. Craziness! But I would like for him to read it. There's good relationship stuff in there, in addition to humor and, um, suggestions and stuff.To go along with the book discussion, my book club had an adult toy party. The engagement was billed as being, "sort of like a Pampered Chef party, but for sex toys." I knew what to expect, but somehow opening my friend's front door and seeing a large collection of colorful . . . toys . . . spread out on the coffee table was still somewhat jarring. No foreplay, just - pow! - vibrating pink silicone right there in view.Weirdest of all - it was really fun. And the discussion afterward was great.
review 2: I saw this book as I was browsing at the library, and having heard about it a while back, figured I'd check it out and see what all the hype had been about. It falls into the category of glad-I-got-it-from-the-library-because-while-entertaining-I-am-fine-with-reading-it-once books. The author has a decent comedic voice (I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he was at least partially tongue-in-cheek when referencing his wife's "utopia", etc.); most interesting to me, however, was the way in which their entire relationship changed over the course of their "marathon." It was interesting (though I suppose not surprising) to hear the impact that daily sex had on their level of communication. less
