This was a great book and gave a good inside view of the life of a stripper. I read this book a long time ago and was so pleasantly surprised to see she wrote a screenplay (Juno) and won an Oscar!

This book was a good read, but not totally about growing up in a haunted house. This was more a book on Jennifer's growing up years as a transgendered person with a few sightings of ghosts in his/her house. I would still recommend this book, but not if you are looking for a book totally about ghosts.

I loved this book! I read it years ago when it first came out. Of course the movie didn't do it justice, but I loved that too. Very interesting page turner about the life of a Geisha.

What a great thriller-type book! I've read other Caldwell books and this was different from the others, but a great read!


Ron Jeremy : The Long Hard Life of a Porn Star
Ron Jeremy : The Long Hard Life of a Porn Star

I can't say I've ever seen Ron Jeremy do porn (as I've never seen porn at all), but saw him on the reality show Surreal Life and thought he was an interesting person. So, when I saw he had a book out, I had to read it. The book was very informative, gave an in depth look into Ron's life and how he got into the porn industry. However, this isn't for the faint hearted. Apparently, Ron lives the life of porn in front of and behind the camera. He talks a lot about his sexcapades and relationships; some in detail. Overall, this was a good book and he lived up to the personality I thought he had on Surreal Life.

This was a very excellent read. It kept my attention and I never wanted to put it down. This was so very well written and descriptive without being over detailed. I was sad that I finished the book; I wanted it to continue on!

Absolutely amazing! I couldn't put this book down. If you liked Memiors of a Geisha and any book by Amy Tan, you will most certainly love this book.

This book was interesting. I think I liked it more because I read Pam's book and this gave the other side. There was also some commentary throughout the book from Pam as well. Overall, it was a good read.

WOW! Michelle Richmond is now one of my favorite writers simply because of this book. Here's what the book is about from the back cover: A child's disappearance is at the heart of the riveting read that follows photographer, fiancee and soon-to-be stepmother Abby Mason. Once the drama starts, prepare to race to the last page.

I couldn't put this book down. If you like Jaquelyn Mitchard or Jodi Picoult, you will like this book.
