Customer Reviews

18th Century pornography! - Rated 3/5
Fanny Hill is one of the most pornographic pieces of writing I have ever read! But, its fabulously "colourfull" descriptions of the most intimate of actions makes it quite an enjoyable book. The whole book is just sex,sex,sex, but this is not as vulgar as one might initially think. The subject matter is dealt with in a sensitive and delicate manner, consentrating more on the pleasure for BOTH of the sexes, rather than the physical aspect. The book tells the story of a fictitious woman named Fanny Hill, who, from her lowly country background goes by accident rather than choice to London. Here, fate is not on her side and she is forced to work in a "brothel" where she makes an escape with one of her "clients". More misfortunes occur and she is forced then to become a kept mistress. Then after a close encounter with a errand boy, Fanny, turned out of her home, again turns to prostitution, this time in a more elegant establishment. The main bulk of the story is based here and details all that went on between the girls and the gentlemen that visited them.

Even though this book is very enjoyable, I can't help thinking that the ending was somewhat of a disappiontment. The fact that Fanny becomes rich and meets up, by pure chance, with her long lost beau seems to be too Fairy Tale like for such an intimate and gritty story.
