Book Reviews of The Complete Illustrated Kama Sutra
Book Review: Fun Book for Adults
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I read this together and enjoy it with a smile. I just purchased it as a Christmas gift for a newlywed couple in their late sixties who'd never seen it. They love it too! Really a comprehensive "marriage manual," as we used to call such books. A love-making guide covering everything from how to bathe, to flowers in the bed, to positions and ensuring your partner's pleasure. Poetic translation and lovely illustrations in the old Indian style representative of the 2000 year old Vatsayana classic treastise.Book Review: The Complete Illustrated Kama Sutra - Lance Dane
Summary: 4 Stars
Of the versions available in bookstores, this one I thought to be most comprehensive in content. The graphics are reproductions of original art and not real life couples - which is a relief, and pleasing to the eye.The presentation falls short in that the book - for it's size - has print too bold, and the graphics are intimidating. But for a person who is looking for a good Kama Sutra to own - for it's artistic and historic significance - this one will work out just great.
Book Review: BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS
Summary: 5 Stars
This book gives you not only the original text of the 14th century Kama Sutra, like some other books also do, but it also gives you beautifully photos from very old and newer drawings, medals, pottery and many other art forms. The photos relate to the topic dealt with at that partical episode.
A book you should place for ever in your library, not only the hardcore sex-fanatic, but also every person interested in literature and in the origin of our Western culture.
Book Review: Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the exact form of the Kama Sutra that I have been looking for. It is illustrated with original Indian artwork. It is an abridged version of the Kama Sutra text but it has the sections that most individuals are most often interested in, the ones on sex. It is not a book that is all about sex but has a large part about relationships and gives some good insight into the Indian culture.Book Review: Historical and a little misleading
Summary: 2 Stars
I guess I didn't pay enough attention, and went with this book based way too much on the title. "Complete illustrated" made me think it was supposed to be the kama sutra, complete with pictures. What this book really was about, was pretty much summarizing the philosophies of the kama sutra, and not with the accompanying illustrations that you would expect. Oh, well.
