Reviews for Green Porno

[slatta_5 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

My husband got me this book (with DVD) for Christmas. It's science, it's sex, it's seriously entertaining. My only complaint is that while the short films come in two sections, the reproductive habits of insects and the reproductive habits of marine life, the book only covers the latter. Isabella Rossellini is brilliant here. It's not a kid's book, although I'd give it to interested young adults.
