About this title: Adult movie star Jenna Jameson's nearly 600-page autobiography (in publishing, as in porn, size obviously matters) begins at puberty with, appropriately enough, the onset of her breasts and pubic hair. She immediately starts dressing "like a hoochie mama," and turning heads all over Las Vegas. With a family relationship that can safely be described as dysfunctional, she begins a rocky adolescence punctuated by violence and drug abuse that culminates in her rape by the uncle of a boyfriend: after this, her subsequent porn career almost seems like a godsend. Jameson's Moll Flanders-like story ...

"Molly's review pegged this--filthy and fabulous, and another story of a smart woman making bad choices. Honestly, the books was a lot less lascivious (I have no idea if I spelled that right, but you know what word I'm trying to use) than I expected. Jenna has a good business sense and, I think, a pretty healthy view on sex. She can separate sex and love, which is pretty important distinction to make. I kept rooting for her to make better choices when it came to men and drugs, though, but she kept taking the hard way to personal and professional success. I'll definitely be checking out the January 2010 update on this because I know from my E! True Hollywood Story (yes, I've watched the Jenna Jameson story on E! How can I not? It's like a car wreck--you have to stop and look.) that she doesn't stay with Jay."
"Despite the title of this book, it is not a How-To guide in any sense (except for a few pages, but they're written in such a funny way, one cant help but laugh...and most likely agree with what she's saying! Gasp! Dont be so uptight, you may learn a thing or two!). A truly eye opening look into the rarely discussed world of porn. The ups and downs of Jenna's life are astounding. She has really built an empire! And in a strange way, she makes it seem like any other job. I read this one twice, thats how much i liked it."
"From the moment I heard about this book, I was interested. What could possess someone to become a porn star? What are the motivations? Of course this was only one woman's story, but my thoughts on porn stars didn't change much.
Jenna Jameson has lived a pretty disturbed and hard life, that's for sure. I think she's a really strong woman for coming out and saying some of the things that happened to her.
Regardless of my personal feelings regarding the subject matter, it was interesting to see how she became who she is today. I wasn't very interested in reading about her doing drugs (almost every other page) or about another abusive (both mentally and/or physically) relationship she was involved in, but for the most part, the book kept me wanting more.
The novel is separated into "books", which was fine, but I didn't really see the point. There was a whole 'book' of a conversation between her, her brother, her father, and her sister-in-law that I really couldn't wait to get through. That, and that half the autobiography is filled with pictures of her were the two main problems I had. I'd barely read 50 pages before I was almost halfway through the book.
The last couple of chapters were filled with lovey talk about her new guy Jay, who she ends up marrying and plans on having children with. I know this was written four years ago so this isn't her fault, but I think I heard recently that she's now with and pregnant by some other fella. Just bugged me a little, but that can't be helped.
"Dont let the 600 page length of this book fool you, a lot of it is pictures, photocopy journal entries, and fluent but childish writing style. Still, story wise this is indeed interesting as hell in my opinion, but I'm in to this kind of thing. If you care not for stripper/porn star stories you should obviously not read this, but that's what's right up my alley so I take it for what it is. It was suggested to me that everything she says in this book is a lie but I have no idea, I take it at face value because that's what is presented.
There are parts that are sad, and parts that are hilarious. But this is not in fact a guide on making love like a porn star, though she does give blow job instructions in one chapter."
