There are now a lot of tg subject books on Amazon. Many seem to be
retreads of stuff free elsewhere on the net.
Let's start a thread of (short) reviews ... or maybe just a 1 to 5
(bad to excellent) star ranking system? Amazon has its own star
system, so our stars should be specifically along a metamorphose
interest scale.
I'll start with...
Tiffany Twisted: ****

Would you mind to write a rewiev and the reasons you give it five,
four, trhee, two or one star, it will made the top rank more
interisting for us. Thanks!

I only read a few kindle tg books, oddly enough the best and worst
are both by the same author Gregor Daniels
The best, Envy this. was a fun romp through experiments with gender
mixing as a girl tries out different gender combos on her
boyfriend. I'd give it three stars but despite an average rating it
was enjoyable. If the girl changed two it's get four. if they both
changed and tried non equivalent swaps and experimented with
sexuality it'd be five. But as it is I have it as three as only the
guy changed. But still it was fun.
The worst, Stuck with My Sisters Body did things like mainly being
sex, adding neat perceptual tricks that were NOT explored or played
with much, and making the girl with the guys body suddenly like
men. I put it at one and a half stars due to not exploring the
perceptual tricks and making the girl instantly like women as soon
as she gets a male body.

A Woman's Passion -- 5 stars. I love this book.
Many positive and negative reviews on Metamorphose ... but unlike
cj, I'm not sure how to find and do links to them.

Little Brown Girl was fantastic, both in length and quality. As a
married guy with two kids, I don't really like broadcasting my
fetishes any further than I have to, or I would have given it a
five-star review.
Legend of Ka-Ron is also quite good.

Anyone read this? The reviews make it sound good, and I read a free
excerpt that looked competently written:

The "Turning" is competently written, is truly a full length novel.
It's greatest strength and weakness if its focus on a group of
young Australian men.
It's slightly to the serious-examination side of stories(in
contrast to "nominal excuse" for sex scenes end of the spectrum).
All in all it is definitely worth getting, but short of a 5 star
entry.

"The Turning" (kindle) is $2.99 U.S.
570 KB

A fair price
It just gets me how people want $2.99 for something 177 KB and
Print Length: 25 pages.

The whole Kindle TG book thing is a bit of a minefield.
It's all too easy to self-publish on Kindle, meaning that many
amateur authors who would normally post their stories for free on
fictionmania, are now selling them instead.
I would never dream of charging for my stories. I like to think I
write well, but I know that what I produce is far from
professional.
I'm not saying there's not some good stories out there, worthy of
your change (as have been mentioned above). It's just there's so
many others where you could find much better written stories for
free on fictionmania if you know where to look.

Have posted a couple of times on Fictionmania, how much I
appreciate all authors, for sharing their stories for free!

Could be a winner. I like the writing style and I found an
interesting newsblurb about the publisher (probable author).

After reading the preview I had to buy it. So far it's shaping up
to be the new A WOMAN'S PASSION.

Hey, Saint, any further comments on JUST LIKE A WOMAN?
(Always seem to agree with your taste.)
And like Jessica, I'm starting to get really skeptical of those
$2.99 self-published kindle books. Have wasted my money too many
times.

Hey Roger,
Wow. I really jumped the gun on JUST LIKE A WOMAN. It started off
interesting but then it become really repetitive and I gave up on
it half way through. I don't have a lot of money to spare and I
kind of regret it, but if you got $3 the first third held my
interest. I think part of the reason I quit was the protagonist
acclimated to being a woman too quickly. I also really got
frustrated with a lack of detail and character development.
I've heard A WOMAN'S PASSION is a cross-dressing fantasy. I never
understood that. I love AWP because more than most it gives a
detailed experience of (presumably) what it's like to be a woman.
I'm curious about physical as well as the social and psychological
experiences and most fiction just doesn't do that. One of my
favorite scenes in AWP was when the new woman gets harassed on a
jog. That's as interesting to me as all the romance. It shows a
different side of life I'll never experience.
The last story that I really really liked was Opening Doors by
Dawna Tompson.
The physical transformation takes place over the entire story but
the sociological begins immediately. The main character is
immediately treated, for good and bad, like "one of the girls" when
he gets a new office job. He starts to slowly transform from a
middle-aged, balding, divorcee into a pretty and self-assured young
woman.
It was a hell of a page turner and a really pleasant surprise. I
suppose you could argue it has "identity death" but really it felt
like gradual identity augmentation. I saw it as the character
slowly embracing his true identity.
In other recommendations I caved in and bought The Turning. I
enjoyed it quite a bit because of the slowly changing relationship
between two friends. It was also quite funny, but the biggest
downside was�again�not enough detail. Still, it was one of the best
stories that focused on sociological changes and interpersonal
relationships.
