By the author of the screenplay "Juno", this memoir is at times educational, gross, interesting and hilarious. Cody has written about the year she decided to work in various areas of the sex industry. Most of the time she worked as a conventional dancer (stripper) but she held other jobs as well. It is interesting to read not only about her jobs but her opinion of them and how her point of view changed over time. I highly recommend it to all who are not squeamish, as the life of a sex industry employee can be a bit disgusting at times! ( )Only the smutty content saved this book. The author has a great vocabulary, but her writing doesn't live up to the hype. Sour grapes from this frustrated writer? Perhaps. I really should have gotten this one from the library instead of buying it (secondhand), but I'm glad I read it. Now I know what goes on inside all the strip clubs in town - no need to investigate on my own. I appreciate the honesty and the humor, but I could NOT get Juno's voice out of my head as I read this. meh.. Arrrgh! How did I forget to review this! I read it months ago, having bought it after the movie Juno came out. Some of the sharp, insightful humor present in Juno is here in this book, the story of Diablo Cody's year long dabble into stripping. From the Skyway Lounge to sex palaces, Diablo takes the reader on a walk where most of us probably will never venture. It was a fascinating, sometimes hilarious, sometimes troubling visit. I wish I'd marked passages or remembered more. 0.051 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
