Vividly the star is Porn!, December 13, 2004
This review is from: How to Have a XXX Sex Life: The Ultimate Vivid Guide (Hardcover)
So maybe you're a fan of Vivid Entertainment and especially the Vivid Girls (Jenna, Tawny, Kira, Briana, Dasha, Mercedez, Sunrise, and Savanna)! If so this book is for you.
Truly, I knew very little about Vivid Entertainment when I bought this book. I suppose I was intrigued as to what a "Porn Star" can really tell me about improving my sex life. Sure they have sex everyday on film but really what kind of information can they offer that will help me or others have a truly fulfilled sex life? Actually, they do manage to communicate the concept of fantasy via porn as a sexual aid and enhancement to any individuals or couples sex life.
Although, there are gems of first hand experience and information I felt as if this book is mostly a vehicle to market and publicized Vivids' number one product, "Porn". Oh, and the Vivid Girls of course.
First and foremost the book is hansom and has a center section of glossy pics of the Vivid Girls. Also, let me just mention that the book is well written with the help of Dan Anderson and Maggie Berman. Each section does give you some interesting information along with a section of script/intro of a currently available Porn Film. Then lots of personal experiences and preferences from the Vivid Girls concerning sex.
Oh, yes, let me also mention the book is littered or adorned with small sections called, 'Vivid Girl Favorits' and 'Vivid Girl Tips' that were quite interesting and worth reading.
All in all, I gave the book four stars for its forward approach of sex and film, its organization, and overall presentation. You might not learn a great deal on how to improve your own sex life but then you might. Anyway, you'll certainly get a lot of forthright personal experiences that can be considered crude erotica or you can consider the delivery of personal information as your own personal one on one interview with the Vivid Girls of Entertainment.
I thought the book intimate and well done but I won't be running to the adult video store anytime soon.

Entertained, December 30, 2007
This book offered views from both female and male adult film stars, on how to try new things and introduce them to your partner. This book also offered personal experiences of these stars, and was a very good read.

A let down from Vivid., October 7, 2009
This book was a very basic guide, not quite what I expected from the Vivid team. While the book contained some much appreciated color photos of the Vivid stars, it would have been much more useful to have positions and illustrations. If you are a beginner or novice this guide will serve you well, for those a little more experienced this book is little more than a great conversation piece for a game night at the house.
This book simply was not what I was expecting.
