Pornucopia (2003) - Plot & Excerpts

Well I finished this one this morning. I am hesitant to write any kind of review for fear it would sound like pornography. There is very little I can say about this book without getting into details and that is something that I just can't do. Suffice it to say that it is fantasy, erotica at the highest level and definately NOT for everyone. It gets quite weird in most of the book. Things happen quickly and there is a tendency to almost lose track of what you are reading. The basic premise (although toned down drastically by me) is that a man meets a succubus/Incubus on a beach. He is constantly thinking about his private area and how small it is. The succubus brings him to a kind of Dr. who performs surgery on him while he is drugged. It all spirals from there. We have people laying a type of demon egg and we have a Mountain of Ice cream. I am sorry but this book was just too weird and out there for words. The writing style was good, it fit the book, it is just the story was well . . . WAY out there with a huge amount of sex not normal sex - WEIRD sex. The author explains at the end of the book the many trials he went through to get this published. Most publishing houses wouldn't touch it. I understand why.

Piers Anthony + erotica = PornucopiaHonestly, that's all that need be said, if you really understand the statement. This book is completely ridiculous, and the premise is completely ludicrous, and that is all part of the Piers Anthony charm. It's exactly what he does.You know when you go see an action movie for the explosions? Or a horror movie to see how many people die? You don't go expecting Oscar-worthy acting. This is sort of the same thing. Refined sensibilities need not apply.I found this book a 'breath of fresh air' (as overused as that is) in the Piers Anthony collection. Don't get me wrong. I love his writing and have read more than just his Xanth stuff. But all of it gets a bit... much after awhile. Pornucopia was classic PA humor in a much more ribald, adults-only premise. It is VERY graphic and over-the-top and most definitely not for children. And given that mind set, I really enjoyed this book immensely. It was funny, engaging, weird and sexy. I gave it only 4 stars simply because it was short and almost had TOO much packed into that short novel. Really, it was more of 4.5 stars.

What do You think about Pornucopia (2003)?

This should be called Ode to a Tiny, Stinky, Uncircumcised Penis. It's absolutely ridiculous, but that's part of it's charm, I guess... if you like that kind of sophomoric humor. I enjoyed the first half of the book, where the owner of the 3.97 incher (when fully erect) finds out his head cheese kills venereal disease. Then he's tricked into donating his penis for medical research, and provided with various attachments to try out instead. Suddenly he's climbing a mountain made out of ice cream, and dueling with demons who keep trying to sodomize him, but whoever comes first wins, and he always wins. This was a very bizarre book.

Despite being of fan of his Xanth, Space Tyrant, and Mode series, I only got a third of the way through this before just having to give up. Although he put eroticism and kinkiness in a number of his other works, I suspect this was Anthony's attempt at exploring erotic taboos without restraint.Aside from the core premise seeming to be the save-the-world properties of the protagonist's smegma, the fourth wall-busting part for me was the satyr and succubus/incubus sex scene in the middle of a supernatural nightclub. Any more would be a spoiler, trust me.

The dumbest, most infantile, disgusting, idiotic, and un-erotic book I've ever read. I had been hearing of this book for years and so looked forward to reading it. Having read several of Piers Anthony books in the past I figured this would be something special. OMG. What crap.This is the third sex oriented book I've read in the past year (or two) after "The Drowning Pool" and "House of Holes." All three were awful. What is it about sex that makes authors write like giggling horny twelve year olds? The dialogue here makes "House of Holes" look like great literature. I'd copy some of here but it's too stupid to repeat. Just imagine porn written by giggling horny twelve year olds. "Surely you don't intend to practice anal intercourse?" she asked, shocked."This isn't practice, innocent baby. . ." Like I said, childish, moronic, and un-erotic. At least I won't have to read the follow-up, "The Magic Fart." Oh, brother!If you want porn, go read some classic Victorian porn. "A Romance of Lust" is one of the best. Thoroughly unrealistic (the protagonist Charlie can do it dozens of times a day!), but comparatively well written with interesting situations.
