Review of Marquis Supergrip Hoof Boots

Once again, what do the meek inherit?

Advantages: A balanced introduction to Sade, yet?
Disadvantages: ? it's not his best work

...Justine (1787) By Marquis de Sade (1740 - 1814) Whereas Juliette was Sade's dear baby doll, Justine was the dummy in which he stuck all his needles. She chooses the "right path" which is for Sade the wrong thing to do in a corrupt world. He calls his novel(la) Justine OR Good Conduct Well Chastised, and in it the heroine refuses to become a sinner, so everybody takes advantage of her. Of course, now you think you know how the book will end, but believe me Sade always manages to shock or at least surprise you. Another significant note here is that although JULIETTE and JUSTINE have the same ending, yet in each book it is told from a different point of view to suit the purpose of becoming either a happy or a tragic ending story. Needless to say, this is definitely both a smart and a cruel strategy on the part of Sade who gives you...

Review of Justine - Marquis de Sade

Thou Shalt Orgasm

Advantages: Extremely erotic, but you might get some meaning out of it
Disadvantages: Extremely erotic (yes, again), very violent, disgusting for some

...Juliette (1797-1801) by Marquis de Sade This book is extreme, pornographic and violent, and as one of the evil characters in Les Liaisons Dangereuses puts it: "it's not my fault." Were you offended by the title of this review? First, this was not meant as a sacrilege: I try to respect the sensibility of the readers as much as I can, but when I thought of the title I just couldn't resist the temptation; I felt when I was reading the book that Sade wanted his readers to "have fun" by force. Second, it is not meant to attract people's attention through involving sex: the book belongs to erotic literature and so the title is not out of place. Furthermore, if you were offended then this book is not for you. Many artworks have been categorized as belonging to erotic literature: Ulysses by James Joyce is one example, although in...

Review of Juliette - Marquis de sade

Bedroom Philosophy

Advantages: it's something that feminists can have a chick fight over; i.e. disagree
Disadvantages: More violent than erotic, and might contain too much "philosophy" for some

...La Philosophie Dans le Boudoir, which is translated as Philosophy in the Bedroom in some versions and as The Bedroom philosophers in others, is a play written by Marquis de Sade in 1795. It represents the transformation of the 15-year-old virgin, Eugénie, who was brought up by her virtuous mother to become an honest woman. Her father, who disapproves of his wife's way of life, sends her to learn from three libertines how life should be lived. The trio encourages the young girl to express all her desires and passions, and her ultimate hatred seems to be saved for her own mother. The virtuous woman is ridiculed and humiliated by everyone and then she is stripped, beaten, and punished by her daughter and her companions. This punishment reaches its highest point when the group instructs a servant who has syphilis to have sex with the woman...

Review of The Bedroom Philosophers - Marquis de Sade

Supergrips are Super Boots!

Advantages: Excellent fit, durable, all parts are replaceable
Disadvantages: Initial purchase price is expensive

...I made the decision to keep my ponies unshod in August last year. As I wanted to keep them in full work (one is a driving pony and covers several miles a day on the roads) I decided that hoof boots were going to be needed. After doing lots of research I came across the Marquis Supergrips, and I can honestly say they are fantastic. Although the initial purchase price may seem quite steep (£150ish), all of the parts are replaceable. So whereas with other hoof boots, when the sole is too worn you need to throw them away and start again, with the Marquis you can simply order a new pair of soles (£18ish). This I feel will save a lot of money in the long term. The advantage of hoof boots over shoes is that you can allow your pony to be shoe free, but their feet can be protected when you need to work them. This has benefits as...

Review of Marquis Supergrip Hoof Boots

Sadistic, well obviously...

Advantages: If you read it you'll be able to say I've read it
Disadvantages: Its 120 Days of Sodom

...Please be aware that this novel is explicit in nature and if there are any ?ikkle? Ciao-ers out there I would really feel more comfortable if you gave this review a pass. Unfortunately there is no rating system for novels, but if there were this would be an XXX. However, I have checked with Ciao and they are more than happy for me to review it, so here goes? ***************************************************** Now I like to think of myself as broad-minded: don?t we all, and that was my main reason for picking up The One Hundred and Twenty Days of Sodom. Written during Sades imprisonment, this novel was lost after the 1789 storming of the Bastille and only republished in 1936. Sade is alleged to have wept ?tears of blood? at the loss of what he considered to be his masterpiece. The Marquis de Sade lived his life...

Review of 120 Days of Sodom - Marquis de Sade

One of the most controversial books ever written

Advantages: Depictions of sexual activity that are unlike any you've read before
Disadvantages: Maybe to graphic for many people

...The Marquis de Sade enjoys a notorious reputation that this book entirely justifies. 120 days has only a loose plot that concerns a group of rich men meeting for 120 days of pleasure in a large country house. The main thrust of the book is its description of sexual acts. The descriptions are detailed and explicit. They become more depraved as the book continues. The book is split into four sections that each deal with different things. Only the first section is truly detailed, the rest are mainly short notes. de Sade was a good writer and his work laid the foundations for other writers such as Poppy Brite. Many people will find his in-depth descriptions of sex and other depraved acts sickening and it does require a strong stomach to read the whole book. On the other hand the way the book is divided makes it easy for people to...

Review of Marriott Marquis New York, New York City

The Prince of Darkness

Advantages: Get to know more about the famous "Lestat"
Disadvantages: NA

...Anne Rice is definitely one of my favourite authors. A lot of the credit comes from the fact that she is the clever lady who created the fascinating character Lestat and the Vampire Lestat, second book from the Vampire chronicles, has to be the one I like the most. Those who have read Interview with the Vampire will also find this one a good read. In Interview, you can get a glimspe of this intresting character from the point of view of Louis, "the vampire with a soul"-well sometimes I do find him a bit sad!! With this book, you get to know Lestat from his own words. It is a personal journey of Lestat, son of a Marquis, a typical French aristocrat. A very diverse character-charming , cunning, ruthlesss ,intelligent and adventurous. From 18th century Paris to present day New Orleans, this is a tale of how Lestat was "turned...

Review of The Vampire Lestat - Anne Rice

Write to me

Advantages: The actors
Disadvantages: none really

...When i went to see this film i wasn't expecting much.But, i was pleasently suprised! The actors made their charactors come to life, Rush made the fim compelling to watch and made is intrigued and sorry for him whilst Phoenix performance was so touching it was unbelievable. The story is about the Marquis De Sard, a person who was put in a type of loony house as he wouldn't stop writing pornography.Kate Winslet helps him to get his stories to the outside world and he is in love with her.However, it all goes wrong when Michael Caine takes over running the place and tries to be stricter with the Marquis,and this results in Kate being killed as a mental person carried out the acrtions exactly that the Marquis wrote about. This film is tragic and compelling.It's a must see!...
