In this book, his first full length non-fiction work, it's as if Devlin O'Neill, at last, decides to open a beer and sit down to tell a couple of close friends absolutely everything about the focal subject of his life, the topic they have been curious about for years. He seems to know that what he is about to say will be received as fascinating and extremely helpful, and also somewhat titillating, in the best sense of the word. Although he does not quite lecture, he speaks with the fine authority and command that is the O'Neill hallmark, and not as if he is addressing someone on the level of a naughty boy trying to get a glimpse of a girl's panties. His elegance of language shines through, and sets up his readers to be on their best behavior in the presence of a gentleman, and then slips in words and phrases that let them know that it is all right to grin, and to tingle, and to squirm a little - and his readers are just sure that he knows exactly when they do each of these. Spank Her! is an informative, fast-paced, light-hearted romp through Devlin O'Neill's, more or less, real life world. Part opinion piece, part sociological treatise, part psychobabble mega-essay, this book rips the tear-away knickers off the shadowy realm that is consensual adult spanking in the 21st century, with a smile, and a wink, and a kiss on the bottom.
