This is a fascinating exploration of the degree to which gender is
core to a person's identity. It is also ambiguous and very
intricately involved with the overlaps of pain/humiliation and sex.
For those not thrown by these aspects, this is probably a 4.

I'll be right up front and say I didn't like this book. The
physical differences between male and female are explained at some
length, but the author's relentless pounding at psychological
studies wore on my nerves. Throughout the book, the author referred
to the body-switched character by his male name, and using male
pronouns. This reinforced the character's gender confusion, but
made the book hard to follow. There are incidents of body-piercing,
drug use, rape, humiliation, almost-discipline (although no SM),
and a lengthy section about picking out new clothes, dresses, bra,
etc. For those who like this stuff, have yourself a big time; I
found it just made me queasy.

The bodyswap between the old guy and the dancer is upfront. This is
a very gory book, with scenes of mutilation. Difficult to swallow
in several senses. I haven't been able to go back and re-read it.

This book startedoff as a very promising gender bender, developed
nicely and slowly, and then disingrated into a nightmare or surreal
weirdness. Frankie is a topless dancer who has an unwanted bodyswap
with one of her patrons. She faints on stage and is taken home by
her loser boyfriend. When she wakes up she has total amnesia except
for the strong feeling that she is in the wrong body. The first
half of the book is about how Frankie has a very difficult time,
both physically and mentally, in her new body. She tries to
convince everyone of her problem and eventually her boyfriend
humors her by trying to track down her old body. Frankie finds her
old male body in the hospital; unconsicous and on life support.
After her male body dies, Frankie slips into depression and her
boyfriend overboils with rage. He finally rapes Frankie. Soon, her
worried mother takes her home and tries to coax her daughter back
to health. She even takes Frankie on a shopping trip to buy her
some nice femmine clothing. Frankie gives in and slowly starts
learning how to be a woman since she has no memory of her past life
she decides to start a new one. This is were the book takes a turn
for the unpleasant. While Frankie starts to shave her legs, wear
stockings and heels, and learn how to apply makeup, she only does
this to torture her boyfriend. She gets him to agree to body
mutilation and humilation with the promise of sex. She still
considers herself a He though and won't allow him any intamacy. The
novel ultimately ends on a very sour note. Overall, the book is a
let down, with very few details on femminity but loads of gory body
piercing and mutilation descriptions.
