The Sexy Book of Sexy Sex

The Sexy Book of Sexy Sex (2010) by Kristen Schaal and Rich Blomquist. This book must have sounded like a great idea when Schaal and Blomquist conceived it. What a title! It can't miss! But miss it does, with jokes that frequently fall flat and ill-conceived passages of prose that do nothing but bore. It's a hit-or-miss affair, with the occasional funny bit surrounded by filler that had to be thrown in to pad the book out to a full 192 pages. I found myself often leafing through the less interesting passages, skipping ahead to see if I could find something funny. I was usually disappointed. Too bad, because I think the concept of the book is great. The cover is well done too. Grade: C+
