Part instruction manual and part memoir, the reader is immersed into the secret world of "Brotheldom" from a bordello worker's point of view. Compiled from the actual writings of former working girls, the writing is crude and honest, neither glorifying nor degrading. Our tour guide spent four years working in the legal Nevada brothels beginning when she was 44. It is through her remembrance of past customers, coworkers, and experiences, she tells us what it is like to live with a diverse bunch of women, competing for customers, sleeping when you can, and while making thousands in the world's oldest profession. The points of view benefit both those curious about visiting, as well as those who are just curious; told in both second and first person. If you can get past the bad syntax, grammatical errors, and lack of organization, the insider info found here could help you save money; these girls know all the tricks, it's their job. The use of quotes around such terms as "blow job" and "gets off" along with 20's style illustrations and a glossary of sexy terms bring a tongue in cheek feel to the book, sure to leave you standing at attention.

I thought this would be an interesting book. Little did I know that it would be SO POORLY written and edited. If this (or these) lady(ies) were serious about informing the populace on the "ins and outs" of prostitution, they should have had someone with at least a high school education do the writing for them. The "quotes" around so many words were distracting and highly unnecessary. The punctuation and spelling were horrid. Forget it, ladies. NO ONE is going to take you seriously after THIS experience!

Written by prostitutes with, evidently, the minds of young children distracted by television....so little insight, so little concrete detail, a narrative that reads as though readers have never heard of prostitution or its attending acts...these are the _good points_ of this very silly publication.

I RECEIVED THE BOOK AS A GAG GIFT, AND COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. IT PAINTS A VIVID PICTURE OF AN INDUSTRTY THAT FEW OF US KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT.
IT HAS BECOME A COFFEE TABLE CONVERSATION PIECE IN MY CIRCLES.
EVEN MY SEVENTY-FIVE YEAR OLD MOTHER WAS FASCINATED WITH THIS "TELL ALL" BOOK.

THE AUTHOR HAS A VERY PERSONABLE AND ALMOST COMICABLE APPROACH TO HER WRITING

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BOOK AS INTERESTING READING FOR OLD/YOUNG/SINGLE OR MARRIED'S--GOOD READ! ROD MITCHELL MEDIAROD@AOL.COM - MEDIA CONSULTANT - HOUSTON, TX
