Has anyone read it?

Yes. Fine if you're in that sort of mood. Very easy trashy read - one hour tops start to finish iirc.

I picked it up from the library this morning and was shocked at the first few pages. Pure filth. No idea why it surprised me. I think I was expecting a slightly more intelligent account of why/ how she ended up being a prostitute rather than graphic descriptions of her encounters

Definitely a trashy read. Thanks, Ohdear.

LOL well it was hardly going to be a searing insightful social demographic of prostitution.exploring the psycho-dynamics of prostitution

I'm still fairly convinced she's not actually an escort - or even a woman - she writes in a very self-conscious male style (obsessed with penises).

I think that is what I expected Scottishmummy

in that case you need a social sciences text,some ethnographic study of prostitution etc

I felt it read like it was written by a bloke

laumiere · 11/02/2009 20:30

I thought that too bobdog, she even felt the need to state catagorically that she wasn't Toby Young!

I thought it seemed to take itself terribly seriously but did n't go down the misery memoir route, if it were a happy true story i'd expect it to be a bit more lighthearted and slightly more dismissive of the customers.

Really a pale imitation of Fanny Hill (Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure)written by John Cleland around 1750!!!

And I can catagorically state that behind my Mumsnet nickname I am not Toby Young
