Customer Reviews

An entertaining, must-read book

This was a fascinating book that I couldn't put down. It's a fun, sensual, witty, expository book. I really like that a major theme in this book is police corruption. I had expected it to be mostly about call girls, but it's really cool that it's about both topics. This book covers the years from 1972 to 1989, which were important historical years in the LAPD. It's a cool book just from a historical perspective, but it's also a very entertaining story. A couple things for clarification on this book. Almodovar was a LAPD traffic officer with a patrol car, not a civilian "meter maid." The author is also egocentric, but I've found that really smart folks tend to write this way, and her intelligence enhances the book. And I think that the only people who wouldn't like this book are police officers, or well-meaning mothers of police officers who say, "My son would never do that!"

TOTAL BRAVERY - BUT AN EXAMPLE OF STUPIDITY

How on earth can a girl think she could get away with becoming a call girl after being a police officer. What about ratting out the principles of your old profession so you can have the privilege of the new profession? This is the story of a girl who discovered virtue in prostitution and flaws with the police department. She reveals both in this very interesting chronicle of what really takes place in the prostitution business. I recommend you read this book so you can learn two lessons - prostitution don't pay and ratting out your own will not lead to a happy ending. This is such an example. I rate this publication five stars for honesty and depth.

Cop to Call Girl

Note about this author's past reviews - It amazes me that a woman who ran for Lieutenant Governor of California for the Libertarian Party in 1986 and got 90,000 votes would get any kind of opposition, despite the fact that she spoke at seminars for members of Mensa, the genius society!

Cop to Call Girl

Norma Jean is an original, covering the days she was a metermaid in Los Angeles up to her peak days as a Beverly Hills call girl (when she met yours truly and subsequently appeared on the same talk shows with me). Besides doing the media circuit, Norma Jean is now living in Montana with her (former actor) husband and spends much of her time as a human rights activist with the worldwide internet pro movements.

police corruption and civil liberties

This is not as good as Mayflower Madam. It tndes to be repetitive. Anybody who is concerned about freedom in this country shoulbe shocked by the bladent disregard of due preocess by the Lapd. This was a woman sent to prison for writing a book. not supposed to happen. Thw waste of public resources by arresting prostotutes is well illustrated in this book. It is time for private consenting adults to be free.
