How does a shitty book like this get a perfect five star rating on Amazon, or even get published?


This is the downfall of humanity. Read a real f**king book, Jesus.


They give this five stars, and give Of Mice & Men, or To Kill A Mocking Bird 0 zero, saying it's boring. They really need to get their heads checked. Just in case of some kind of disease or something..
 
Here are some of the dismal quotes:
1. Inspiring
2. Incredible
3. Informative

Jenna is so beautiful and SO smart. She is truly an inspiration to women everywhere, and Jenna if you were to ever read this, I would come and work for you ANYTIME!

WOW!!! I'm still breathtaken by this book...her courage and strength to be able to bare all in 579 pages!!! (the book was too short!!!) I can honestly say that I have a new found respect for the porn industry...we all have our stories and reasons of doing what we do in life...and Jenna's story is one hell of a ride. Have fun reading it!!! A MUST!!!

I bought this book at 1 PM yesterday, I sat in my bed reading it off and on, all day long till 12AM. I just couldn't put it down. Its a big, thick hardcover book. Everything about her was so interesting from her family life, to the men she had chosen. She's really just a fascinating person. The book has a lot of pictures which is awesome. Normally, you make up in your mind what her dad and brother look like, but she had pictures of them and some of her friends. I wanted to see what Jack and Preacher looked like. I never read, ever. Unless its Cosmo or some other trashy magazine. I shocked everyone when I wouldn't go out that night because I'd rather read her book. Her life is full of heartbreak, but like a fairytale, she does live happily ever after in Arizona with her love, Jay. And those two people, I wouldn't mind being sandwiched in between them! She tells about how Nicholas Cage smells bad, how obsessive Tommy Lee was (go figure) and the weird humor Marilyn Manson has (go figure) if you aren't reading this book, you are truly missing out. I wish she does a movie about her life. I now see Jenna as a beautiful girl inside and out, not just a Porn Star.

It's pretty disgusting, but not as bad as the Paris Hilton book. The reviews on that make you want to bash your head in with a hammer.
 
Actually, if any of you have read tinstead of just criticizing the people who have, it's a decent read. I wouldn't give it five stars, but it's an interesting book.

If you like celeb bios that give you a different view of the subject this one is excellent. Jameson is actually a very smart business woman. She set out to conquer an industry and was able to achieve her goal on her own terms.
 
I'll admit to not having read it, although I did read part of the Paris Hilton book standing in the bookstore, just to see what she said. I was referring to the reviewers in my post. I just think there are a lot of brainless people posting on Amazon, particularly in books like this where a celebrity of some sort wrote it.

I have to agree. If you've read the book and want to criticize, feel free. However, to rate it as trash simply because of the subject matter is rather close minded.

I'm not much of a porn fan, so I didn't know anything about Jameson until I saw a special about her life on television. I was intrigued enough to give the book a whirl. Although I wouldn't go so far as to give it five stars, I did find it interesting. Jameson is an intelligent woman who has overcome a lot of obsticles in her life.
 
I haven't read it and I will not be readin it. However, I did read Of Mice and Men as it is supposed to be an important book. I wondered what all the fuss was about - found it quite dull. Some books suffer from the Emperor's new clothes syndrome whilst others can be surprisingly good.

You did not post the good one:


Most people, I suspect, when they spy the title of Jenna Jameson's "How To Make Love Like A Porn Star" rarely see the next line of the title ":A Cautionary Tale". The glitz, the glamour, the women and men, and the sex are what they think porn is all about. The tawdry, abusive, dirty and sad side of life is the real world of porn.

Jenna Jameson aka Jenna Massoli was born in Las Vegas. Her mother was a Vegas showgirl and died a very painful death from cancer when Jenna was a small child. Her father never really recovered from his wife's death. He became a policeman and essentially left Jenna and her brother Jack to grow up by themselves. He was absent from much of their lives. They moved frequently and Jenna had a hectic life. Never really making friends and never having a loving relationship. In one small town in Montana she was gang raped and left for dead. Jenna reacted violently and injured a girl who had been abusive to her. The family left town - the same way they reacted with all problems; fleeing and never facing the problem head-on. Jenna drifted into one bad relationship after another and learned to make money with her body. At first she danced in a strip club and moved on to stripping and then on to porn stills and then porn movies.

Much of this book is about Jenna and her life in the porn business. She is quite open about the drugs and alcohol and life she led. In order to maintain a semblance of life she had affairs with men and women she worked with. She tells us of her life and that of other female and male porn stars. At times she tries to glamorize the business by talking of the money, the clothes, the make-up, the travel, and all the people she met. But most of the book is about her search for love, and of course, for love in all the wrong places with all the wrong people. She believes that celebrities will welcome her into their lives and business. She tells of her affairs with well known Hollywood stars and rock band members. But beneath all of this is the raw, gritty life of the porn star that survives on booze and drugs and never makes it to the top. This is a sad story of a life of a young woman who did not have a family to support her. She only knew that she had to fight and kick her way into life and that is what she is still doing. Jenna has some good insight into her life and the men she loved, but she is unable to leave the business. She is still making movies and at times dreaming of having children. She is proud that she has been able to rise above her stripper life and make her way in the world. She married a kindred soul, and they are in business together. It seems this is enough for Jenna Jameson.

This is a very honest portrayal of life in the porn business. Jenna Jameson does not pull any punches. She does not make excuses for her life, nor does she try to leave the business. This is her life she believes, and she will make the best of it. She is a success she believes because she has learned from her inner strength, and not waiting for fulfillment from someone else. A good read but not for the squeamish. prisrob

but then again I can't guarantee any usefulness/assement of amazon reviews. They are always main source of problems for me :mad:
 
I'd actually really like to read this book. I think the porn industry is despicable, but it would be interesting to hear the thoughts of someone on the inside.
 
I've flipped through this at B&N. It's an interesting read!
Anything I'd say would just repeat what mehastings has already said.
 
I haven't but I've always wanted to read that one and the Christy Canyon one. The one that I'd really like to read is Porno Star by Tina Russell, which came out in '73 I believe, and now goes for big money. She was a trained ballerina and somehow ended up in the world of 70's porn. She was in the 70's classic, Story of Joanna. Georgina Spelvin is getting ready to publish an autobiography called The Devil Made Me Do It, that one I will buy for sure.

Some other ones I'd like to read are Bottom Feeders by John Hubner, the first biography of the Mitchell Brothers and Here Comes Harry Reems which came out in '75, I think. Dorothy From Kansas Meets the Wizard of X (a biography about Eric Edwards that was published in 1999).

This is a good one too:

Hell yeah! I still need to check out that first one. Which is the one that we had both seen Lenny? The one that I didn't like and totally freaked me out. It had that creepy guy that reminds me of Flavor Flav. ::shudders::
 
That would be the third one, directed by The Dark Bros, one of whom, Gregory Dark went on to a prolific career directing music videos in the 90's. He even directed one of Britney Spears' vids!
 
Ahhh yes. That's the one. We talked about that last summer. It seems that I need a refresher course in Lenny's Smut 101.
