Hot stories on a controversial topic:

S/M has intrigued me for a long time. I think about getting into it but have always held back, so these stories were a really good introduction for me. I really enjoyed most of the stories here (Jill Nagle's was unbelievable), and I think it was because they had some depth, they weren't all about just getting tied up and tortured, like other S/M stories can be. I understand that the second volume of this is going to come out soon and I will definitely buy it.

Not your typical S/M drivel:

I bought this book because of M. Christian's reputation as both writer and editor (which is excellent) -- and I was disappointed only in two or three stories. As with any anthology, there will always be a couple of stories that aren't as appealing as others, but then, I think that's the sign of a good editor (someone who presents a diverse assortment of work). How could someone read Marilyn Jaye Lewis's story and not find it completely compelling and original, for instance? I also loved Jill Nagle's story... more info

Not even very good:

Talk about a book that fails - this "best of S/M" shows up M. Christian's worst flaws as an editor. Things like sticking with writers you know, not having enough of your own experience, fear of trying anything fresh, and simply putting too many words out there just to make a buck. There are some great new S/M books on the market, but this one can't touch them - seriously avoid.
