Title: Disappointing.
Product review: I was looking forward to this book, hoping that Flynt would actually reveal something of himself that we didn't already know from the film "The People vs. Larry Flynt." Leave it to a pornographer to reveal absolutely nothing of importance. The book is really just a play-by-play of his 'career' -- and the writing is slow, at times meandering, and just boring. I've concluded Flynt himself is boring. Among other things, I would have loved to hear about his long feud with High Society publisher Carl Ruderman (one of the world's richest and least-known porn kings), but Flynt bails on us. Instead he opts to recount the demise of his wife and the legal particulars of his case with the Supreme Court. At times it's a bit reminiscent of the undoing of Lenny Bruce, standing on stage reciting court transcripts to a crowd expecting jokes. In the end, it's all just sad, pathetic and SOOOOOO old.
