Editorial Reviews

Review

The non-fiction biography is a hard-hitting view of those Chippendales male dancers you've always heard about. It's hard to believe women throw themselves so freely at these muscular men who have reached celebrity status. The resulting clinical depression of Troy Kline is not surprising. This is a must read for those seeking celebrity status when unconcerened about consequences of their actions. Moral:Don't jump off the deep end like this. -- Publisher

5.0 out of 5 stars A steamy, yet funny read. I recommend it., April 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Chippendales: The Naked Truth (Paperback)

This book is not only steamy, it is extremely funny and pun-ny too. The story of the founder of Chippendales and the way he started the first club in Los Angeles was fascinating.

The book is so descriptive that when I read about various European cities, I felt like I was there.

Not many guys would pass up the opportunities Troy Kline had to perform with the world famous Chippendales and have women falling all over them night after night. I commend the man for finally seeing his instant celebrity for what it was and realizing he needed to make a major change in his life.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book and am looking forward to the sequel.

Cherie, Band singer.

This review is from: Chippendales: The Naked Truth (Paperback)

It's all here! Chippendales...The Naked Truth is a behind-the-scenes expose of action both on stage, and off of those male strippers you've always heard about. ¶ Chippendales...The Naked Truth is a true account of Troy Kline, a handsome, tall, twenty-eight-year old experiencing life in an all-male Chippendales strip review touring the Scandinavian countries in the spring of 1993. ¶ Take a cataclysmic ride across theatre stages and into Rave Clubs and hotel rooms where Chippendales erotic dancers not only strip their lives bare, but participate in drug excesses and sexual orgies with willing subjects. ¶ Experience after-hours antics of women enticed by muscular fantasy men, advances taken for granted by Chips on the prowl for sexual pleasure."--© zebraz

4.0 out of 5 stars EVERY MANS DREAM!!!, August 25, 1999

By 

Chris - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chippendales: The Naked Truth (Paperback)

THE BOOK IS MOSTLY ABOUT THE SEXUAL EXPLOITS, DRUGS AND INSTANT FAME THE "CHIPS" RECEIVE IN EUROPE. TROY KLINE TELLS THAT HE FEELS GUILTY, THAT HE WAS DOING WRONG. BUT SOMETHONG TELLS ME THAT PART OF HIM HAS FOND MEMORIES OF HIS STINT AS A PERFORMER. HE HAD HIS CHOICE OF WOMEN, BOOZE AND DRUGS. PLEASE TROY, DON'T CRY. THERE ARE PLENTY OF GUYS THAT WOULD HANDLE THAT LIFESTYLE.
