This was an awful book. The writing is terrible (she refers to genitals as ding dings?), 1/3 of the book is pictures, 1/3 is unnecessary (like her boring diary entries from when she was 12), and the remaining 1/3 is just barely engaging.

The actual parts worth reading include advice she gives to both men and women who want to break into the industry as well as a few experiences with some of the celebrities she has encountered such as Bruce Willis, Marilyn Manson, Wesley Snipes and Tommy Lee.

Everything else is a cliched history many would expect from a porn star: rape, daddy issues which later manifest into poor choices and abusive relationships, and her equation of her self- worth to her sexuality (which she never really acknowledges in depth).
