review 1: This is one of those books that could have been shortened by a hundred pages or so. This is because the author has a tangential style and will amble off on a random bit of thought while making his point. As for the content, it's honest and it's there. Zak doesn't seem to have an agenda other than Telling What Happened. It's this that makes the book good. His prose is a little hard to get through. If you have ever heard Zak Smith/Sabbath talk- it's how he writes, which makes it a little hard to follow at times. I chalk this up to style, and it's not a criticism on my part. The content, I think, can be summed up in the last few lines of the book. After hearing all about Zak and his friends' experience in the porn industry we are treated to a line of dialogue from his girlfri... moreend and sometimes co-performer about how a lot of people won't talk to you when they find out you are/were in porn. Zak opens a window: "The morning air is good, and belongs to us as much as them."This is maybe the closest he gets to an agenda. At the end of the day (and the book), we're all still people.
review 2: Zac Sabbath is snarky and brilliant.He speaks of life in the double zeros like a modern day sensualist. I loved his brain, his characters and his insights. The only thing lacking for me was the storyline, which floated off into space- lost in tangent; very smart, snarky tangents, but a tangent nonetheless. What this book has in it's corner is it's uniqueness. Smith's drawings are incredible. I've had the pleasure of seeing them up close. less
