The Rif Raff Book Club January book selection was Rapture by Susan Minot.

Rapture by Susan Minot

An interesting and unique platform on which to base a book, but basically this read like what I imagine a woman's soft porn book to be like. Lot's of emotion, conflict, angst, wonderment and FEELINGS. All that and a rather boring money shot/conclusion too boot. Don't put this on your must read list.

This was a chick's book. I was glad it was short.

This book is written for women. What I thought could be an erotic book about partners feelings during an intimate moment turned out to be a rant by the author on how most women are mistreated by men and cheated in sex. Bone sigh! It could have made better points about men and women's relationships fairly. The authors knowledge of men and their feelings and actions were so stereotypical feminist. At points in the story the author claims to know how men feel about something physical or emotional, but she was completely off. I don't think she really cared if the reader knew any different. The man was not supposed to read this book so anything she could have written would be taken as truth by her intended reader. MEN, pass on this book. The premise could suck you in, but it is hardly worth it. Did I ever tell you about the worst book I read about a blow job? It WAS bad.
