O'Reilly agrees great stuff,
By Jade (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stripped: Twenty Years of Secrets from Inside the Strip Club (Paperback)
I recently saw the author on O'Reilly Factor and was very impressed with what he had to say, so I bought the book. I too am a former dancer and was interested in the perspective of a man who worked "inside" (for more years than I could ever last.)
Couldn't put it down, the book is great fun to read. The author doesn't make himself out to be a hero, or all knowing, or even all good. What he does do, is take you for a ride through the club with his stories of events and his keen perceptions. You end up wanting to know more. A must read for any man wanting to understand dancers and the strip club business.

Sin City,
This review is from: Stripped: Twenty Years of Secrets from Inside the Strip Club (Paperback)
It impressed me that the strip industry was the perfect anology for Las Vegas. All glitter and sparkle on the surface, hard-boiled and dark to the core. I always assumed that there was corruption, spiritual, political and of the flesh, but that it would always be tolerated as a natural by product of the American Dream and not talked about in polite company.
Evidently, this author is rude. This book exposes readers to the other side of the coin, the one not presented by the poker shows and Discovery channel travelogues. Racism, gratuitous violence, ugly sex and political corruption. Some claims seem so outrageous that one could normally assume that the author was embellishing his narrative for shock effect, pandering to the consumer's prurient nature for sake of sales. In the next sentence he is naming real people, politicians and local color such as the flamboyant club owner Galardi who are currently under federal indictment and in the news. Turns out his titillating work is not an adult rated fairy tale but a contemporary true crime novel, his observations from the pit. If you are curious about what happens after A&E and The Discovery Channel stop the camera, this is a good book. A Las Vegas primer that the city elders won't be putting on their tourist web page.

An OK Read, not what I was expecting.....,
By Baby Blue (Las Vegas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stripped: Twenty Years of Secrets from Inside the Strip Club (Paperback)
Typical mob stuff and it all plays out like a Las Vegas CSI show. I danced at this club years ago and the owner was a pretty raunchy man. No class and of course was one of those managers who wanted favors from his girls. If you have lived in Vegas for a few years it's actually getting pretty old to hear about this on the news and now it's in writing to go down in history forever.
Typical man book,written from his point of view. More about the crime part of the business than the actual dancing side. There are better books out there that are more about the actual dancing side of the business and not the crime drama.......
