_Forbidden Flowers_ by Nancy Friday is a collection of sexual fantasies that women sent to the author. Although the premise is promising, in many ways this book disappoints.

Granted, it's somewhat interesting to read what other women fantasize about, but a little more editing of the letters would have been appropriate. As it is, there was a little too much repetition of praise for the author's last book. I think it would have read better if some of the extraneous material had been edited out.

However, one could argue that this book does go a ways towards debunking the myth that "normal" women don't have sexual fantasies and can help promote openess about formerly taboo subjects.
