Review: Not as funny as I'd hoped but funny enough

I would have never thought to read a romance about S & M, because soft porn romance novels are just not a genre I am interested in, but kudo's to Tom Paolangeli for making fun of it, and making money off of making fun of it.  I am surprised at the success of FSOG, but maybe I shouldn't be.  Maybe she writes really well.  I'll never know.  Tom's Secret Guide makes me think that FSOG is a mix-up between a 1980's unreal Harlequin Romance and Anne Rice's 1990's S & M erotica Exit to Eden.  Sorry Tom, I know you didn't want women to buy and read your Secret Guide, and it might shatter your stereotypical sexist view if they do, but I thought your Secret Guide was funny.
