Interesting and Sexy Read

I think the Critics are Writing Too Harsh of Reviews. The Book is An Easy Read and Keeps you Entertained. It Gives Curious People the Insite to Prostitution and Satisfies Curiousity. I Enjoyed It and My Boyfriend is Finally Interested in Reading a Book Finally (after I read him a few pages of Bruna's Story). Book Definently Turns You On. It Take Courage to do what She Did and to Share Your Life of Prostitution with Millions of Others. I'm Happy for Her and I Hope She Does Well.

Interesting but sad

Here are the stats: inked up in three places, pierced in two, sex with 1,000 and counting,doped up for a while but now clean. Here is her story: unhappy home life albeit comfortable, a desire to be free, stumbling into the sex trade, marketing her story to the media and getting a measure of fame. Lessons? It is better for people to express their desires than to suppress them and she helps to do that. Some of the book reads like a warmed over issue of Cosmo, especially her handy sex tips at the end of the book. But at its core she is a hurt child who is still hurting. There is one passage---she is just bubbling along about this and that, and she tells of a client, an older man. Unpleasant, and who she tries to avoid. He rapes her and hits her. The writing loses its jaunty tone, its Cosmo sheen and she writes, after he leaves and she looks at the money: "we should pity men like that, not be angry with them. He was a man who'd never been loved---he himself told me, the first time, that he'd never even been engaged. I know why, He doesn't need to say a thing because you can see in his eyes how sad and alone he is. And his aggressiveness in bed is just a reflection of the fact that he's never been loved." For all the world. you'd think is she talking about herself.

Great Book

This girl went through some things but she came out on top. Very interesting book

Interetsing Read

Interesting insight into the path of a privileged girl into lady for sale. The author never address original saddness and glosses past sexual assault leaving you wondering what other untold stories remain.

El Dulce Veneno Del Escorpion

I read the spanish version of : El Dulce Veneno Del Escorpion. I bought it from an Argentenian based online book store out of Florida. What caught my attention was an interview that I saw on TV Chile where Raquel Pacheco was being interviewed about her love for the "bad life" and the "easy money". Overall, I can say that even though the book is very explicit, it is a good book. You can see who the real Raquel Pacheco is and in some way relate to her. Contrary to what I read in a google article, I do not believe that Bruna Surfistinha is the Paris Hilton of Brazil. She was middle class, but not to Paris' level. She is taking advantage of her expertise as a prostitue and enjoying every minute of it. But when push comes to shove, she is just an ex prostitute who is trying to make a name for herself. People will truely admire her when, and only when she does become a psychologist as she so longlingly desires.
