Title: Sad and shallow
Review: I picked up this book hoping to find out something new about the world of prostitution. Unfortunately this book doesn't deliver. A sad broke woman, many sad sexually unfilled men who behave in controlling, sometimes agressive dangerous ways, and a madam who manipulatively calls the shots reveal nothing new about the topic. I was, however, repeatedly amazed at the author's minimizations of how this work was damaging and dangerous to her, not just physically and emotionally, but at a soul level. I didn't need for the author to experience redemption, but rather transformation of some sort beyond just changing the circumstances of her life from teaching & prostitution to marriage and kids. After I finished it, I was left feeling sad and depleted.
Is the review positive or negative?
