Jenna Jameson Books

This collection of erotica is written by some really good, imaginative writers. I liked all of the stories and none bored me, as anthologies tend to about half-way through. I think it's a good read for anyone in the mood for something sexy. I also liked and would suggest: Take Your Shirt Off: A Novel of Hollywood.

I am a big fan of erotica but I tend to be disappointed with about half the stories in most other anthologies but I loved every story in this book. There are super short ones and somewhat longer ones. It also has great sex tips that are helpful and funny. This is smart, sexy, fun, accessible erotica that my boyfriend loves, too, trying to steal my book when I'm not looking.

If youve seen the movie Wicked Weapon or if youre a Jenna fan buy this book. The art is great and the story follows the movie perfectly but the bonus storys are what make it worthwhile. Any Jenna fan needs this book.

A definte read, but be warned, these tales aren't penned by Jenna--they're written by other writers. However, don't let that distract, as this collection of erotica can defintely compete with all the others out there today. A definite must-read!!! Also liked Husband Swap and Roughing It: Two Dirty Stories.

I really enjoyed this book. The story itself was entertaining, and I also enjoyed the interesting array of photographs, "How To" lists, and illustrations. I found myself skipping over certain parts of the book (mainly the chapters that include manuscripts of Jameson's movies and conversations with her family), but overall I had a hard time putting it down.

This book is a must-read if you're a fan of Jenna Jameson or you just want to read a juicy story about sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll. It's certainly not Shakespeare, so if you go into with that in mind, it's a really fun read.

When I first purchased this book, I wanted to know what makes a girl into a pornstar and why would she continue to do it if everyone is putting her down. As I read the first 300 pages of this book, I learned that Jenna had serious self-esteem issues to the point of narcissism---sometime that she might still exhibit to this day. That reason for her becoming a pornstar was no surprise but throughout her life, Jenna really hasn't learned anything from her past relationships or mistake and she has not really shed a good light on the sex industry. She claimed that people make stereotypes of her type of lifestyle claiming that pornstars are nothing but sluts. The fact is, she admit she has had sex with many people offscreen even when she was in a relationship. Then what do you call that type of lifestyle then?

I thought reading this book would make me understand the porn lifestyle more but it was as I thought it would be. It was a lot of tragic moments and drama. However, I do give her credit for admitting to the fact that she thinks she is better than everyone else by saying that "half of the world's men are jerking off to (me)" while most pornstars writing a book about themselves would claim themselves to be the victim.

A lot of the events of the book are very skeptical and I wonder how much of it are facts. To some extent, some events are exaggerated to the point it makes Jenna a seriously flawed character who only handles the situation with drugs and running away. Even after she sobers up, she repeats the mistake again. There were a lot of philosophical standpoints in the book which sounded more like a third-person observation (Neil Strauss's) than her own self-analysis and I wonder if she really did write anything.

The ending of the book wasn't really anything spectacular, she just gets married to Jay. If the book continued, it would show that she has divorced him and is dating Dave Navarro and Tito. So she really hasn't gotten out of that "lifestyle."

When she claimed she would have become a pornstar anyway if she did not have such a tramatic childhood, I tend to disagree because hopefully her mother would have taught her to have some self-respect. What made her into a pornstar is that she has a big enough ego and has no shame or humiliation. But I guess if her ego was bigger than her implants, she would have become a pornstar anyways.

This is an amazing book. It is a very real look at the industry, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Her story is very real and gritty. I found it very captivating and heartbreaking at the same time. I found myself really wondering about the choices, no matter how small, we make and what they lead to in the long term. I found myself laughing at her ability to inject humor in certain humorless situations. My heart broke for her emotional pain and longing, and the horrible downward spiral with drug abuse. Her story is one of redemption and finding her true self, and creating a world that fits her needs; not the other way around. And more importantly finding what it really was along the way- that she wanted.

One warning with this book: Not all may appreciate the photos, so I recommend having a spare page handy as a marker. Her photos in the book are very beautiful, some are more haunting that others. But there are some folks that may be offended both by her story, and her photos.

At first glance, most will think this book a tawdry story about the porn industry. There is nothing tawdry about her story. It's raw, gritty, sometimes humorous, and sometimes painful.

Great read!!! Very exciting and attention grabbing. I read it in 2 weeks. Jenna has had a very sad and eventful life. This gives her a great new respect for the woman she has become. I learned a lot! The "industry" is not at all like the image it has been given.

I actually think women may enjoy this book more than men, because it's a very personal story about another woman's life. She centers her story around her life, not just porn, so I really do see women being able to relate more to her troubles. A book about sex with great ilustrations that I'd guide you is Sex and the Perfect Lover: Tao, Tantra, and the Kama Sutra

Despite the cover-text mismatch (this is a POD book and the company may have mixed the files), the plot of this book is richly textured, and the prose is amazing. See the review from the author (author has provided an Amazon on-line review) to a get a sense of what this book is about. I was hooked from the first page and couldn't put the book down!

All in all not a bad story. However, I got the book because of the cover. Mistake. The back cover and introduction both say this is a book about "real-life down and dirty stories and pictures of the hookers and bang tales who scratch out their living on the streets". It says from Whitechapel, to N.Y. to L.A. (the story never makes it to America or England) "Sex! Drugs! Danger!" "This is big city life among the down and dirty mean streets and back-alleys of America's urban core." The story is set in a small Indian village in the woods of Canada! The back cover and intro say this book is stories about prostitutes. It is not. Read the authors review to see what it is really about. I only gave it 2 stars because the cover/intro is so misleading. Other than that the story is good.

Thanks for the reviews of this book - I am glad that people find the plot and writing to be interesting - and for drawing my attention to the publishing glitch. This book examines lives lived in a Cree community in Canada. The short-run on demand printing has mixed up two electronic files and as such the cover and intro are for a different book. I hope that you enjoy the story in this novel, and I hope that you have not bought the book simply based on the cover, or (worse) because my name is similar to that of a porn star.

I expected this book to be at least marginally interesting. It wasn't. A complete waste of money. It's a bunch of gibberish. Also be advised the author isn't the actress Jenna Jameson.

Finally an author who can write erotica without insulting your intelligence! Note: the author is not the actress Jenna Jameson, but instead is the award winning British writer J.-Lee Jameson.

Many people have had rough lives, but do not demean themselves for money the way this person has. Prostitutes are prostitutes, no matter what they may call themselves. I think any thinking person who even lays a hand on this highly prosaic, overlong, prurient, dreary, self-pitying tome will probably feel the need to have a long shower afterward to excise the dirt.

I have to admit that I did not expect much from this book, however, I was proven wrong. It's easily read and very hard to put down. Jenna is very honest and raw as she takes you down her path of becoming a porn star. Jenna led a life that most of us cannot imagine, however, she endured in her own way. I highly recommend this book, however, the sex is very raw and detailed. Not sure if I would share the book with my mother.

I never really liked Jenna Jameson before I read this book. After I bought it, I read it 3 times! The story of her life was amazing! True and raw! You look at her as just another blonde, big boobed, bimbo that gets naked for money. After this book, you look at her as the strong, intelligent, sophisticated, woman that she truly is. The hardships that this girl had to endure was absolutely horrible. The book read so very well and I could not put it down each time I read it. Everytime I reread a chapter, it felt like the first! I have to buy a new copy just so that I can read it over and over. I recommend this book to any woman who has had a hard life and taken the rough road. I also recommend this book to anyone who criticizes Jenna for her life choices. You have no idea what your talking about!

If you are expecting sexy revealing photos of Jenna, don't buy this calendar. Most of the photos are from the neck up. She looks great, but I expected more from the the most famous porn star in history.
