Book Reviews of Footsucker
Book Review: Sensually Humorous
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book some five years ago or so and the laugh-out-loud moments of it has stuck with me since. I keep it on my shelf for times when I need a break from serious literature or not so serious literature, if you know what I mean.
I wrote a review of this book after first reading it, mainly to remind myself of the story and how much I enjoyed it. Today, after seeing "Footsucker" sitting comfortably on my bookcase, I decided to re-read my review. If I weren't reading two books at this time, I'd crack open "Footsucker" and begin chuckling through the story once again. I can't imagine anyone in today's sexual awareness society being to prudish to appreciate this fun story. For what its worth, here is my edited review written five year's ago. I thank author Geoff Nicholson for giving us open minded reader's a little something fun to suck on.
I just finished reading a book that was funny,
enlightening and definitely left me questioning my own
sexual proclivities.
The book `Footsucker' grabbed me from the beginning.
What book with a title like this wouldn't make a
person curious? For as perverse as the title sounds
the book is much more than a dirty sexual expose on
feet.
Of course if your religious beliefs prevent you from
talking about sex in any way or practicing it only in
the missionary position then this book is definitely
not for you. Also, if you can't handle the truth
about your own sexual delights then you probably can't
appreciate our main character's fetish for what it
truly is.
`Footsucker' is a story about a man and a woman who
find their true selves when they find each other. It
just so happens that what brings these two together is
a fine perfectly perceived pair of female feet
possessed by the woman. As with all new relationships
the two go through the stages of immediate passion,
questionable actions and a doubtful future together.
What will make any reader unable to put this book down
is when you find yourself checking out a pair of cute
little toesies settled into an open toe pair of pumps.
If the reader doesn't find him or herself at least
peaking at the next sexy pair he sees, then I've got a
one-way ticket to Utah for that reader along with a
booklet on celibacy.
Throughout the book the main character gives a few
instances of foot worship and shoe design philosophies
throughout history. From Cinderella's glass slipper
to Chinese Foot Binding to modern day movies with
sensual foot messages, society has always seen
something provocative in the feet.
The book makes the practice of something most of us
consider perverse seem like a newly discovered
aphrodisiac from the ancients. The surprising thing
is when you put yourself through the test you may find
a side of you that you didn't know existed. You must
first ask yourself, is it possible that I could be
attracted to a woman just by her feet? Then you go
out and check out the exposed open toed shoes of a
strange woman and catch yourself getting aroused at
just the thought. You may come back to earth when you
realize those cute footsies are attached to a face
like Rosanne Barr, but for that moment of foot focus
your sexual desire was being fulfilled by feet and
feet alone.
Bottom line is the book carries some truth to it
whether we admit it to ourselves or not.
The story itself wasn't anything new or overly
exciting, but it's a story that reads well and leads
you without confusion into each following chapter.
And your always left wondering what's going to happen
next. The author does a good job of giving hints to
the reader. He gives the reader a line that screams
"just wait and see why this is so." I myself am not
that patient with mystery writing, so to have a writer
tell me what happens and then have me anxious to see
why or how it happens is a thrill.
Not to spoil the ending but I'll just say that it left
no loose ends. I almost forgot to mention that part
of the ease in reading this story was the limited
number of characters though it read like there were
more. Maybe it seemed like more because it pulls
characters out of your own past experiences. I know I
was reminded of my one-foot fetish moment. Experience edited out.
And for you ladies you'll find out just what pair of
shoes to wear for that right moment. Since most of
you ladies already know what turns us men on you can
think of this book as a refresher course with some
added lessons. Every man loves a seductress but not
every woman knows the art of seduction. `Footsucker'
may teach you a trick or two. But just to be safe,
bring your own contraceptives.
