This book is an unintentional portrait of mental illness.
Drug abuse.
Multiple abortions.
Virginity "lost" three times.
The semi-abusive interactions with her husband.
As a child of Japanese diplomats who can speak at least one foreign language, she just couldn't come up with anything better than the life that she did?
The author mentioned that 50% of the girls viewed porn as just a job. And the other 50% were ones who had substance abuse and sexual abuse problems.
I wonder how accurate is that: There are extremely few people that can express themselves well enough to write a book, and if so..... What is the statistical likelihood that they would have mental problems on the order that this author does?
There were some sort of domestic problems that were not clearly stated:
Three different high schools.
Volatile levels of parental income, with no explanation.
Where is this woman's father in the book?
I can say that I did learn a series of trivial things about the shooting of adult films. Also, I can say that I learned that there are enough people with bizarre sexual tastes to keep a lot of people employed servicing them.
She talked about one man who liked to have an electric catheter inserted into his urethra? (Yeesh.)
She talked about VERY VERY STUPID men who are willing to pay $10,000 for 30 minutes worth of covered sex with a woman because she happens to be an adult entertainer. (Even though if you have that type of bread, you could set up a couple of women for regular, bareback activities.)
There are SO many sick people in the world.
And after reading this book, I know about one more
Of the book itself (a person's grammar/ mode of expression is quite different to the topic that they write about-- much in the same way that the person's style is not really equivalent to the design-cut of clothing):
The writing is moderately good. (Of course not to the level of John Green, but moderately pithy in some spots.)
Verdict: Recommended at the price of $1.
