Book Reviews of Nymph
Book Review: A Magical Fairytale Tapestry Of Love, Healing And Sex
Summary: 5 Stars
As usual, and unlike a few others, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, another issuance from the brilliant Miss Block...
I thought the stories contained in "Nymph" were magical and complex, full of lush detail where it was needed and left to the imagination when it allowed... Leaving the reader engrossed in a lovely fairytale land of healing love and healing sex... This is a book full of beautiful characters who's lives are a rich tapestry of passion, pain, love and struggle.
I enjoyed "Mer" in a thousand different ways, and found "Plum" to be enchanting. While it's true that I liked some of her short tales more than some of the others, that didn't diminish the book as a whole for me in the least. I loved the way she intertwined each character and their story to the next and the way each one's tale unraveled in a slow, sensual dance.
Certainly this isn't the typical book, but if you've managed to run across it with interest in enjoying it, then you're most likely not the typical reader... And I don't think you'll be disappointed...
