Lusting After Michiko by Frank Noir makes no pretensions about what it is and is not. It is, as the author puts it, a pornographic novella. At only 43 pages, it is short, even for a novella, but the author still manages to pack those 43 pages with an interesting concept and one Noir explores well and fully.
I'll be honest and say pornographic stories are not my favorite read, but I'm open minded enough to read them and get a modicum of pleasure from them. As far as this genre is concerned, Lusting After Michiko is a good one.
The basic concept of voyeuristic and exhibitionist behaviour is one that appeals to many readers and I guess we've all felt the desire to act out those fantasies from time to time. Luckily probably, most of us have resisted that desire. In the eighties, which is a generation I'm more familiar with, we would have called what was happening in this plot (zipless sex).
The story itself focuses on an Asian woman who is "stalked" by her next door neighbour and indulges in a variety of exhibitionist behaviours and games with him. I found the writing to be excellent and I do realise how difficult it is to add variety and spice into a story that focuses principally on just one aspect of human behaviour - sex. I think the writer did fairly well, although I did find some of the sex scenes a little repetitive.
All that having been said, I think if you want a quick, exciting, titillation, Lusting After Michiko would be a very good book to keep by your bed, to indulge yourself in your own fantasies. I did enjoy this quick dip into the fantasy realm - it made a change from horror/romance, which is my normal reading fare. For that reason, I would give Lusting After Michiko 3.5 stars, rounded up to a healthy and enjoyable 4 Stars.
