With a title like that, I thought it was one of three things: porn, humor, or a really eye-opening, raw look at the world of prostitution. It is none of these. I'm not a prude, but this book was full of merely gross stories, and not very well written ones at that. The vignettes were dull and simple, and I can't remember a single one of them. He liked a couple of his whores, there were a few that were abused and degraded while falling-down drunk, but I couldn't relate any one particular story. These were stories written by a sad, dirty old man, with no art or salaciousness to them at all. You may as well be listening to a guy at a bar talk about his latest exploit. I usually don't skip out on a book, but after the vignettes and two shorts, I was done. Anyone want to buy my copy? $2, seriously. I've read better writing in rape scenes in VC Andrews novels.
