Quite a factual book about the porn industry and life of a middle ranking porn star, Monica Mayhem,its honest and interesting, I enjoyed it, obviously not on par with Jenna Jamesons Make love like a porn star but better than most other tomes regarding the lives of Porn workers.A good effort.

A Great Honest and Simple Story
27 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've always loved the industry and the lives of those that live it. After reading Jenna's biography, I was worried about having to deal with another sensationalized biographic of an entertainer (even though I did enjoy Jenna's book). Monica's, however, is so much more. The simple stating of the facts, describing her feelings, etc. are so easy to read as if they are coming directly from Monica's lips, which they are. Monica doesn't pull any punches, doesn't dramatize anything, and just simply describes her life and her climb to the pinnacle of her career. A very easy read, and almost impossible to put down. Monica simply tells it like it is, describes the ups and downs of being in the industry, and lays her soul on the line. At the same time that she lays it all out there to bare (no pun intended), you can't help but sense the vulnerability she is displaying by revealing so much about herself. While you'd typically expect an actress in her profession to be an extrovert, she reveals herself as an incredibly introspective person that truly needs and enjoys her time alone (and even seems to be tormented by it sometimes). She comes across as a kind soul but willing to say things that most of us won't because of societal norms. I applaud her not only for a well written autobiography, but for putting herself out there and being honest about an industry and career that faces more criticism than any other. Awesome!

Unless you're a fan, pass this one by.
17 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback
I really enjoyed Tera Patrick's biography "Sinner Takes All" and with some interest in porn I figured I'd pick this up even though I had never heard of Monica Mayhem. I'm glad I used a gift card to purchase this book and not my own cash.
It's a typical biography about how someone gets from point A to point B, and while it has a few interesting tidbits in it, there is really no spark in this book to set it off as a must read. It really boils down to being a collection of affirmations of the subjects life. Personally, I am not interested in reading something that is simply a way to justify a person's feelings about themselves and their life.
And as for the "secret confessions of a porn star" part in the title, there's not any of the juicy info you may expect from such a headline. Yes there's some talk about drug use and behind the scenes stuff but nothing horribly revealing.
In summation, if you're a big Monica Mayhem fan, pick this up. If not, grab Tera Patrick's book if you want to get a good read on a porn star's life.

A Must Read
3 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback
Read the story of how a girl from Brisbane Australia took to the world of porn via stockbroking first in Sydney then London and how in London she began in her journey into the adult world. An amazing story of a girl who hasn't had it all her own way, battled hard and never gave up and doesn't hold back on the personal or business side of life, a great read and a remarkable story
