24 of 26 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive but not overwhelming, March 9, 2007
By   Angela Buonfiglio "Irkmeister" (Key West, FL USA)

The lengendary Kama Sutra has long intrigued me but my attempts to read it has always proved unenlightening, sometimes dull, and often confusing. In my nearly 50 years, I have also tried reading various books that professed to explain the Kama Sutra for those of us bewildered by it. Those books either over-simplified or added new complexities! But this book — maybe because it's written for "idiots!" — finally, for me, provides the kinds of answers I've been craving. First, it is not a fat or heavy book, so I didn't feel like it would be the equivalent of some sort of academic tome. The chapters are broken down into sensible categories that I understood rather than approached with trepidation. Bottom line: this book is written in a style that's modern but preserves the ancient wisdom of many of the practices. I appreciated that because there is so much beauty in the Kama Sutra, and these authors respect that at all times. This book has truly demystified the Kama Sutra for me — and given me information I am eager to try with my wife (who I am encouraging to read it next!). If you have a choice in Kama Sutra books, absolutely choose this one. It is clear concise, beautiful, and never condescending.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, September 4, 2007
By M. Castillo

 

This book is absolutely awesome. I am only a couple of chapters into it as now, but I can tell it's great. I leafed through it and I looked at the pictures. The photos are tasteful, and the couple is nice looking. There's a lot of stuff in it that I didn't know, so I know that I will be learning a thing or two from it. From all the Kama Sutra books, this one I think is the best. Years ago I tried to read the Danielou version(the complete one), but come on, who can read that one? This one cuts to the chase and in addition offers little "nuggets" of information about Indian society and their culture. I absolutely recomand it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction, but no revelations, November 26, 2007
By C. B. Gurney (Washington, DC)

This is a well written guide that stays true to the original Kama Sutra while delivering its wisdom in easy-to-understand prose. The writing is clear and humorous, the photos and illustrations are explicit but tasteful, and the book is well organized. This is a quality book, and I would recommend it as an excellent guide for beginners or even moderately experienced lovers who want to broaden their love lives. I had hoped it would provide more guidance on new positions, and I was a bit disappointed. We have tried all of these!

Not a translation but a cultural transposition, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Supercharged Kama Sutra is the best achievement I’ve seen in appropriating the insights of this ancient, aristocratic sexual manual for the needs and interests of contemporary Western readers. Link and Copeland’s Kama Sutra unpacks the significance of the traditional work and its terminology, complemented with outstanding photo illustrations of a loving, sensual couple. In addition to the usual “Idiot’s Guide” summaries of key information, the sidebars (“Love Bites”) comprise witty, entertaining, and value-added insight. An inspiring, wonderful treasury!


Louis Lafrance (Quebec, Canada) on Amazon.com February 26, 2007 ….

Everything for the eyes and mind. Very nice book, supercharged with very nice color photos that show it all. This is actually a guide to all of sexuality that goes much farther than the Kama Sutra love positions. It takes you all through the field of sexuality (versus Kama-Sutra) taking you by the hand (like if you were an idiot - most of us still are anyway in that matter) and showing you from A to Z how a real sexual life is to be lived without inhibitions for your greatest benefit. Although this book is aimed at the practice of the love positions, it is also well documented by interesting theoric facts and grounded in the Indian Eastern philosophy - introduction is very interesting in that regard. Well written and beautifully illustrated. All-star book !
