Too long for what it is. Could have done without the family interview material. Suprisingly well written, and smarter and cleverer than I would have thought (with my preconceived notions of porn start intelligence quotients). Ultimately though, once you've skimmed through the book for salacious details, you have to ask yourself: do I really care?

Pretty standard autobiography of a porn star. Jameson seems to have been pretty open about the content, not hiding her abuse of drugs or alcohol. It is also graphic in some parts, but it's readable.

Jenna Jameson tells how she conquered a male-dominant industry. This book is very intimate. She is great!

A little too long, but still manages to hold one's attention. Her life is powerful and interesting, and I can not help but feel a little guilty when I read certain parts. A book I will not read again, but I'm glad I did it once.

Basically, a disappointment. It grabbed me at the beginning and slowly lost me over the course of the book. There really wasn't nearly enough about the porn industry, or what it is like to work in the porn business. I mean, that's why we regular folks picked this book up. Instead, we are given Jenna's life story, one of drug addiction and abusive men, and a story of repeating the same destructive patterns over and over again.

The title makes no sense to me, aside from the obvious marketing ploy. Way to mislead readers and irritate them.

Boring boring boring boring. For the love of God, if you're in the porn industry, play up squalor and filth. Don't write a PG-13 book and PLEASE don't make it a Lifetime Original Movie. It reminded me of my experience seeing Coyote Ugly: I went with a friend one lazy summer afternoon, both of us ready to drop loot on a smut-fest of boobs and coke and maybe a little violence. Then we saw that it was rated PG-13. Dreams flushed down the toilet. Lord, it sucked. This is better than that, but leaves you with the same disappointment.

Lots of pretty pictures!

I have so often thought of gathering my things and wandering until I have found my correct place.

But I am trying as hard as I possibly can to get through this part of my life, and maybe I will get through without permanent damage, jus scars.

They don't realize that the strength they need has to come from within.

I learned an important thing about dating: The person who wants the least amount of commitment in a relationship is the one who holds the reins.
