SYNOPSIS:
A Working History of Working Girls (and Guys) Have you ever wondered how Heidi Fleiss came to be the face of upscale prostitution or if Casanova really was the world's greatest lover? How about why Latin playboy Rubi Rubirosa got the nickname "The Ding Dong Daddy"? Anything but judgmental, Whore Stories sheds light on one of our more stigmatized icons: The Prostitute. Featuring the true stories of famous streetwalkers, call girls, rent boys, and go-go dancers, this book offers a revealing look at the men and women who have blazed the bawdy trail of prostitution since the dawn of time. While you may think that you know everything about this occupation, Whore Stories includes plenty of details and even celebrities, such as Maya Angelou and Bob Dylan, that will leave you in awe. From private schools and child preachers to mime fantasies and unfortunate amputations, this book uncovers the truth behind the world's oldest profession.
REVIEW:
Whilst this book automatically sounds like a book that will not only grab your attention but keep you hooked, it’s more of a case of it being a Who’s Who of one of the oldest professions, including some hearsay that has never been officially concerned. Don’t get me wrong it is definitely interesting and some of the connotations would have hit a few of today’s modern gossip columns but all round its rather disappointing for a reader who was expecting quite a bit more.
