As far as a tell all memoir goes, this book falls into the category of "pretty okay"-- as far as being a good examination of women in the sex industry, I think that there is something nauseous about the read. Her insider status on stripping and peepshows makes for interesting fodder, but there is something that is missing altogether. She writes with her signature style of kitsch, but there is something to be desired. In one place near the end she discusses the fact that she was never raped or molested, making her entree into the stripping world mysterious. She notes that as a child she wasn't attractive enough to get raped as a kid, which is really really disturbing. I would have liked her book had it not been for that little piece of commentary that made me want to barf.
I've added this to the list for my 11th graders. It is not just about 9/11. It is also about Karma, greiving, and what it means to make a new life out of the ashes of your old life.
