Reviews
Among the reviewers of THE PURSUIT OF PLEASURE the San Francisco Chronicle said "Tiger is an amusing author... The Pursuit of Pleasure is pleasurable indeed."

Publishers Weekly wrote "In a freewheeling...provocative exploration of what motivates us most powerfully, Tiger seeks to establish the moral, scientific and political authority of entitlement....His observations offer fresh, intriguing perspectives."

The L.A. Times commented "Throughout these pages, this Lionel is a tiger of a writer: witty, frank, elegant and insightful" while the Washington Times noted "Tiger explores how sex, food, smell, warmth ad other sensual pleasures have yielded advantages to man and are rooted in our physiological prehistory....His major pont is that pleasure is positive, desirable, delicious, demanding and worth pursuing....The Pursuit of Pleasure is a great idea for a book."
