Publisher's summary

We all dream of the forbidden, but some of us make those dreams come true....With the same mystery, menace, and intensity as her Vampire books, Anne Rice's

Exit to Eden explores the forbidden by taking us to The Club, a vacation paradise where no aspect of sexual pleasure is taboo. Just as The Story of O shocked the '60s by speaking aloud about what had only been whispered, Exit to Eden gives voice to the sexual secrets of the '80s.

Critic reviews

"Bold and erotic, laced with luxury, sexual tension, music...dazzling in its darkness....There are times when Mrs. Rice seems like nothing less than a magician. It is a pure and uncanny talent that can give voice to monsters and angels both." (The New York Times Book Review)

Read the book instead, and buy some butter

Performance? It was wonderful, sexy without making you blush . . too often anyway.

Story? Well, the book was wonderful!
You have your safe sexual fantasy island and love in New Orleans. But the best of the book unfortunately didn’t make the audio.

missing important things

Such a shame they removed so much of this book. Important scenes were removed that were key to making this story flow, of course Gillian Anderson did a fantastic job, but I wish she was able to read the whole book. Not a extremely shorten version.

very shortened version

I read the book years ago and was happy to be able to listen to it this time around but very disappointed to learn that they ruined Anne's story by cutting so much out. This is a VERY shortened version of the book.

Heavily edited

Disappointed that the best parts of the print book are missing from the audiobook. A tepid version.

Censored audio version?

It's been a few years since I read this book. Love the story. I recall some scenes from the book that I did not hear on the audiobook. Was it censored?

Where's the rest of the story?!?!

The narrators are great, but I expected this to be the entire book. It isn't even half of the original. I am so very disappointed.

Totally abridged. The best parts were cut. Was expecting very hard R and got PG.

Abridged - leaves out all the good stuff

This audio book is super abridged. Shame on them for charging a whole credit. It leaves out all the good stuff and turns the main female character into a one dimensional basket case with no character development. This version also turns a super erotic novel into a short story rated PG.

I was going to return it, but it was really well done so I won’t. The performers were great and if they were going to turn this into a main stream movie, this is the very scaled down story they would probably use.
