Title: The Porn Queen Turned Literary Genius
Review: Jenna Jameson pours out her heart and soul in this autobiography that gives us a detailed and colorful account of her exciting life and career. I was aware of who she was from the time I saw her in a porn movie many years ago. There was something so sensual about the way she performs for the camera. If I could use the word grace about something related to porn, in my mind Jenna Jameson is the most graceful porn diva out there.To be honest I was enticed about the title and the cover when I bought the book. The book is very thick, but don't be afraid, as over a third of its content is comprised of pictures and collages of beautiful Jenna. However, I found it hard to read in the subway as the revealing pictures got a lot of attention by other commuters. The fix to this problem was to start carrying a white sheet of paper that would cover the pictures while I would read the text.Jenna's life is exciting, sad, dramatic, abusive, humorous, and extravagant all at the same time, and she does an excellent job at opening her heart to the public. She takes the reader on a journey that starts with a naughty little girl that plays with Barbies and also has a certain tomboy side to her, and finishes with a giant porn diva that sits at the top of thirty six billion dollars a year industry. This journey is full of ups and downs, which Jenna manages to turn into constant learning and self-exploration. She is very generous at sharing these learning experiences in the shapes of Jenna philosophies about family, love, relationships, sex, drugs, or all kinds of other dependencies. And as nobody in a healthy state of mind should take these philosophies at face value, they are nevertheless entertaining and will give you some interesting perspectives on all these well-debated issues.The book is a wealth of knowledge about the porn industry. If you are thinking about making it in this business, this book will be your new Bible. It is fascinating to find out about the sad self-destructive lives of most porn stars. If you are like me (or every guy I have talked to) and wondered about being a porn star, reading this book will definitely make you reconsider.Also, if you enjoy juicy gossips (who doesn't?) about the rich and famous, this book will prove to be very informative at that matter. You will find interesting bits about Nicholas Cage, Nikki Sixx, Tome Lee, Marilyn Manson, Derek Jeter, Joe Montana, Pamela Anderson, or the Undertaker. Who would have thought that Marilyn Manson likes to cuddle after he has sex? Who would have thought Nicholas Cage smells like the homeless people at the subway stations?I will highly recommend this book to anybody that likes to mix up his or her reading materials. If you are a fan of biographies, this book is must! If you have taken an interest on the porn industry this book will be eye-opening (no pun intended).

Title: Couldn't put it down.
Review: I have seen Jenna's work and I've actually seen her in person a couple of times. Once around 1995 at a gentlemens club in Columbus, Ohio where she was a feature dancer. My then boyfriend was a big fan and we went with a group (who got me quite drunk and I was partially laying on the stage at one point, not my finest moment, but I digress) she was very sweet and laughed it off. I saw her again after I moved to New York. She was on Fifth Avenue in front of Trump Tower getting into a pedicab with then husband Jay. I was interested in her as a person and how she got to where she was. This book does not disappoint. She includes tons of steamy details with celebs and other scenarios. Advice on how to get into porn (if you want!) and what goes on behind the scenes. Does not leave you wondering about anything. It's written in a very playful way with comic strips and excerpts from her childhood diary. This gives it a more personal feel as if to give insight into her personality and the real Jenna. She includes a ton of "pin up" type photos which I could have done without, but if you're a huge fan (and maybe male) you will appreciate them. The only inconsistency was her financial situation throughout all this. Why was she so broke all the time and staying in flea bag hotels then the next page she's building s house in Miami? That could have been better explained. Other than that it was a great book. Highly recommend.

Title: The Ultimate Nasty Girl!
Review: If you read books to be entertained then I recommend this book. If you have a religious or conservative agenda, you're not likely to like this book. Therefore, you have a disparity of opinion in reviews. I do not watch porn movies and have only seen her on Howard Stern or E! TV. Sometimes she is attractive and sometimes I find her to be overrated. But she projects a friendly, engaging personality that I think draws people to her.This is an autobiography which may confuse some people by the title. But there are touches of "How to Make Love Like at Porn Star". Specifically, the testimonial from the unidentified male porn star. Not a picture of a glamorous life but well worth the read.But in the end this is an autobiography of a young girl who gets in with the wrong crowd and by 16 she is stripping and living with a much older tattoo artist with a serious meth addiction. Jenna is good at her craft and quickly moves from dancer to model to porn performer and along the way develops relationship and drug problems. For people who do not like strippers/porn stars, you'll see all the stereotypes that you expect.It's interesting to hear her tell her story with her point of view. Is she always right? Of course not. Can she be a very tough witch that you wouldn't want to be around? Absolutely. But at the end of the day, she's developed a great career in her chosen field and is making a lot of money. AND, she's written a very entertaining book.

Title: easy, mostly interesting, read
Review: I enjoy reading memoirs so picked up this book for an easy "on the morning/night commuter ride read." It is an easy book to read (however, the hardcover was not very easy to lug around due to its sheer size; related to that, if you buy the hardcover, you can leave the book jacket at home when you read it in public and it is a very discreet, plain-looking book underneath). If you are looking for juicy details of the adult entertainment industry, I do not think this provides as much of that as one would think. Much of the book was about her early years and then with a greater emphasis on her relationships when she was in the industry. The most annoying parts of this book, which I often skimmed, were interview style chapters in which it is just Jenna, her father, and her brother talking about Jenna's "growing up." I think it would have been more preferable if that information was put into narrative format, because when she did expand on her life story in that way, it was much more effective. All in all, mediocre (but readable) memoir on love/sex/relationships, abuse, and drug use/addiction.
