The first half is so amazingly dirty and hot and also really funny. Good jabs at back to the land womyn born womyn culture. Very violent. So much so I have told some not to read it. But if you can deal/like it, it is totally amazing. The second half lags.

I wouldn't recommend this as a first intro to Califia -- even if novels are your preference. Public Sex, Speaking Sex to Power, any of the short story collections and of course the unbelievably important Macho Sluts are more accessible. This has some important stuff in it, but as a novel it didn't blow me away the way Macho Sluts did as a collection -- and Califia's essays are just drop-dead brilliant, all of them. This one is interesting and critical for completists, definitely, but I found it spoke less to my interests than most of Patrick's other books.

At times hot, at times sickeningly violent. The Native American appropriation I wasn't too keen on. Last half tended to drag as well. And ridiculous, hypocritical ending.
