I got this as a bachelorette party gift, because, well, my friends are like that. It had been passed down from friend to friend and intended to serve as one of those "awkward" gifts (we've had quite a few). However, I noticed Grahame-Smith's name on the cover, and then I read it. It's pretty good, without being too vulgar. It shines a light on a multi-billion-dollar industry around the world and what trends and taste levels lie within us all. If you've a dirty mind, it's not a bad read.

Okay, I probably won't ever read this, but the title alone made it worthy of my "to-read" shelf!
I'm the kind of person that could not in good conscious leave a book like this behind after I saw it. Asides from being a rather thorough history of the porn industry, it's just funny as hell. Sure, it's not for the uptight puritan out there. But for those of us honest (sick, perverted) enough to not worry, it's definitely worth a look. There's no doubt you'll remember it.
this is a interested book.
Lots of facts, a bit of sarcastic humor and wit towards the last 1/3 or so of the book. I giggled out loud a few times. Reads through like a novel (sort-of), but other than that it's not really a re-read or something that would be kept. Worthy of a once over then a trade in at a UBS or sold on eBay.
Seth takes words and puts them in a sort of order that makes you laugh, think, and cry...Then think again...Cry...Then think...then laugh. This goes on and on until the doctor takes the book away.
Yes, but have you read it in GERMAN?
Interesting industry info.
