Product Description

Review

'Ashley Hames has approached literature with the same courage and candour which he brought to his investigations of porn stars, perverts and prostitutes. The result is a picaresque tale brimming with hilarious encounters and moments of deep moral shame, all recounted with the nothing to lose honesty of a man confessing his sins to a priest on his death bed.' --Grub Smith

'Irresponsible, insane but inspired, the Queen should present Ashley Hames with a knighthood and a straightjacket as this fine book amply illustrates that he is equally deserving of both.' --Piers Hernu

'A pile of s***.' --Kelvin MacKenzie


Product Description

With a weakness for women, good times and binge drinking, it seemed inevitable that Ashley Hames would turn cult hero with 'Sin Cities', blazing a toxic trail through a minefield of debauchery and fantasy across the globe. As clown prince of LIVE TV, he happily changed his name by deed poll to News Bunny and produced such lowbrow classics as 'Topless Darts'. A few months down the line his career had him hoisted up on meat hooks, tortured, clamped and generally trampled on in the name of entertainment. It was only when the cameras stopped rolling that it got messy. In this book, Ashley investigates the sexual habits of some of the most extraordinary people on the planet - from the bizarre to the unimaginable - and somehow helps it all make perfect sense.

5.0 out of 5 stars a masterpiece, 11 Jul 2008
By Duncan H. Wilson "porn enthusiast" (Paddington) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
of filth that transports you right there beside the man himself, knee-deep in drug/hooker heaven. You can almost touch it. Byron, Keats, McNab, Hames. Where to go from here?

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read, 21 Jul 2008
By John Davis - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I recently had the honour of meeting Mr.Hames after his book signing in Leeds. I rushed home to read this book and - several hours of sweat, erections and tears later - I was left feeling like I'd been on an incredible journey with him. The story of his travels around the world making stops at brothels, orgies and S&M dungeons (whilst occasionally doing some filming for Sin Cities) is enormously entertaining.

However, whilst I loved experiencing this journey, it was the more personal side of the book that I enjoyed the most. Hames reflects on topics such as drugs, sexual kinks and prostitution in a refreshingly honest and interesting manner. As the narrative shows, his experience and insight into these topics is immense and he gives the reader a lot to consider whilst challenging their pre-conceived ideas. I highly recommend it

5.0 out of 5 stars sinsational, 23 Feb 2009
Brilliantly written. Hilarious. A road trip of excess - a life you are glad someone had and took the time to write about. As a fan of thew show I knew there would be a lot more to it than just what we see on screen. What we need now is a UK version of the series and another book to follow.
