4.0 out of 5 stars Leaves you panting for more!, February 20, 2003
By A Customer
This story of a Washington wife who leaves her powerful husband to join a womyn's commune is charged with the kind of eroticism you just don't expect from the Second Lady of the United States of America. I was amazed at how graphically Ms. Cheney details the commune's daily "massage classes" and their predictable free-for-all aftermaths, while at the same time delivering a devastating critique of phallocentric discourse in modern culture. I can't wait for the sequel, in which the Sisters declare war against the male-dominated multinational corporation that is threatening to foreclose on their commune. Four Stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dick's Missus Knows How to Please, August 2, 2004
By Rabid Reader "Picnic6" (Somewhere Out There) - See all my reviews
In an age of loose cannons such as Teresa Heinz Kerry, it's refreshing to see a potential first lady such as Lynne Cheney create a novel sure to please everyone from fun loving fundamentalist Christians to plaid flannel dykes, from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine.
Sure, Lynne is married to handsome, virile and dashing Dick Cheney, but even wonderful Dick can get tedious at times.
Lynne proves that even the cutest red dress wearing Republican lady craves a little gal on gal action at times- and as long as the gals don't want to get married- who's to mind?
Lynne's book was said to inspire her daughter Mary to sing a favorite childhood song: "I want a girl just like the girl that married dear old dad."
I look forward to Lynne's new book she plans to write once her husband retires in November. I heard the working title is, "Ellen: Do to me what hubby told Leahy to do to himself."

(REAL NAME)
This is a stunning tale of a lonely young housewife's struggle with the temptations of unnatural love. Mrs. Cheney has written an engaging distraction from the horrors of a world gone amok. She offers all readers - from the doughy Lex Luthor reading by flashlight in his bunker, to the Hampton subscriber to "Women Loving Women Loving Women's Wear Daily" - a glimpse into a life so blessed that the worst experience the heroine suffers in her God-ordained life is the shame of posing publicly with her husband's boss's wife - the vicodin saturated woman with a five dollar facelift. AN ABSOLUTE JOY!
