Customer Reviews

great reading

Lot of suggestions on all niches of porn out there waiting to be viewed. A great resource.

Hilarious

This and Rick Vietch's Can't Get No are mandatory foundations of any early 21st centruy collection. The book is above analysis, anyone who attempts wordy critique has missed the entire point of the book, is the the target of the book's irreverence, and is not to be taken seriously.

This is my book of the year!

I thought this book was a fun ride from cover to cover. It was "laugh- out-loud" at some points, and extremely offensive in others. Every single detail in the book, from the fine print in the ads to the background images all goes towards building the world in which the main character, porn queen Claudia Corvette lives in. I've read two of Neil Strauss' previous books (The Game and The Dirt), and while this is a different format for the author, it comes across as if he and artist Bernard Chang had a ton of fun poking fun at the porn industry. It's like a Friar's Roast in some ways. I still can't get over the "stranger mode" in the video game. I haven't read a lot of graphic novels/comic books before, back when the Death of Superman first came out in the early 90's if that counts, but the artwork was clear and change of styles really helped differentiate the various time periods of the character's life. i've already made a trip back to my local comic book store to see if there's more that would interest me.

This Is What A Graphic Novel Should Be!

This book is absolutely fantastic. A great ride from cover to cover. It never takes itself too seriously and like a classic DePalma film, it has a great time laughing at itself! The ads are all brilliant. Read 'em close. There's little clues, email addresses and websites that are all accessible! So cool! It's also the perfect follow up to Neil's Jenna Jamison book with an intro that really gets right to the heart of why he wrote this in the first place. Amazingly dark, tongue-in-cheek satire that is the equivalant of a really great popcorn film. Worth your time and your money!

Another Amazing Body of Work from Neil Strauss' Creative Brain!

This is yet another excellent body of work from the Creative Mind of Neil Strauss and the Extremely Talented Hands of artist Bernard Chang. I've had a chance to thoroughly read this book 3 (three) times now, and each time it gets better! ! There are so many double entendres, puns, Easter eggs, and startling true facts in this book - there is always something new I haven't seen each time I pick it up. Though I wouldn't call this a coffee table book - you will absolutely find a copy both on my bookshelf (next to Neil's other books) and on the back of the porcelain throne. What a great book to pick up and read a few pages from, or read cover to cover like his other works! I even bought a DOZEN extra copies for friends; and I'll send some to Operation Comix Relief as well - THANKS for another GREAT piece of Entertainment Neil!
