註釋"This superlatively bad book is an object lesson in how to succeed at getting a hardcover publisher without any talent. What you do is take an anthropological team to a forgotten atoll in Polynesia where the population (some 200) employ all of the believe-it-or-not sexual practices that were ever reported out of the South Seas. Den mother for the team must be Professor Maud Hayden whose bulk can be wheeled out for minute lectures on the study of social behavior, larded with loving references to the bibliography of Anthropology 101. She must take along one daughter-in-law/ amanuensis who is yearning to be an Earth Goddess and one assistant/son who would rather play with boys. They must be joined by a frigid lady psychiatrist who is physically ill at the sight of the male sex organ, a nymphomaniac nurse, an expert on sex who is a voyeur and a photographer who brings along his inhibitions and his high school-aged, reluctantly virginal daughter. When they get to the island, they will encounter no language barrier because it was founded by an 18th century Englishman and besides, a beachcomber American is there who has soberly founded peace by going sex the native way."--Kirkus
