rating:
it was pretty interesting to read about the whole mafia connection with porn, though some of the names definitely get confused. the wonderland murders were also a pretty cool topic, though i kept wondering when i was gonna get to the really shocking stuff. it never really came, however. maybe i'm jaded. i also have a complaint about the wrap-up of the book. there really wasn't one. like, i wanna know what's happened to some of these people over the years, not just what happened to them in their porn careers. one great thing about the book was being able to put more of a personality to some of the actors i've known since i first started jerkin' it. one thing's for sure, i was NOT surprised that marc wallice was (allegedly, i suppose) responsible for the AIDS out break in the porn community. that guy always looked a little extra sleazy.
