A Girl Called Honey (Collection of Classic Erotica Book 21) by Lawrence Block, Donald E. Westlake
michaelromeo's review against another edition
3.0
This was probably considered erotica when it was written but it's tame by today's standards. It is a fun read especially for fans of Lawrence Block and Donald Westlake. It gives a glimpse into the early years of their careers.

I am a big Westlake fan but this is truly a terrible book. The prose are well written but the book just jumps ahead randomly. Block and Westlake supposedly passed chapters back and forth but it seems more like the wrote them without each knowing what the other was writing, or perhaps deliberately trying to sabotage each others story line. As the book progresses it gets worse and the story makes less and less sense. The book just gets to be progressively more sad. Just because, as Block says, it was fun to write doesn't make it fun to read or that it should have been published at all. Also, not that I really care, because I was just reading it because Westlake wrote it, but the cover says erotica (on my copy, different from the one listed above), a total lie. While sex is mentioned and they discuss that she is a prostitute, that's it, no description at all. Westlake actually wrote erotica (tame by today's standards), for example Man Hungry and it's a much better written book. There are better books of Westlake's to reprint than this. I really doubt there are worse.
