by Ms. Rebecca Dakin (Nottingham Uk) - 2010-06-24

I have always thought Jenna was a very sexy lady, and I've seen a couple of her films, but I didn't know anything about her. What drew me to this book was, as another reviewer had mentioned, the collaboration with Neil Strauss. I'm a massive fan of Neil Strauss, and when I was writing my book I was lucky enough to exchange a few personal emails with him where he gave me tips for writing :) His style and wit I greatly enjoy and I knew that this book would be a winner. As an ex escort I'm aware how people make judgements about me, how many men I've slept with, my inability to form any sort of real meaningful relationship, etc... and how this and other things 99.9% of the time are grossly exaggerated in peoples minds. And I have to confess I did the same with Jenna. You assume porn star = lots of men. Wrong! Don't read this book if you're a guy looking for titillation, because aside from the photos, which I'm sure you can find many of online, and the obvious 'in your face' title, this book is not full of sex! And thank god. Because her story is so much more. I was absorbed in her story from the start. In fact I read the huge whopping book (it's about 4 inches thick!) in about 4 days. I was hooked and everywhere I went I had my trusty book tucked under my arm. Yes the cover will get you some strange looks if you're out in public. The title How to Make Love Like a Pornstar does imply that I was learning to become one! And many a time I noticed women giving me funny looks and men looking at me with a knowing look hehe ;-p She has had such a hard life and the way she managed to turn herself around, I take my hat of to her. She had a string of failed relationships, and I wrote a blog post about one of her comments which was this... `It's a time honoured tactic among men who feel like they are dating women out of their league: never be impressed and always put her down'. I found that this and other things about her rang true with me, and it actually helped me understand myself better. I too do as she does cut people out of my life if they hurt me. It may seem obvious but I honestly never realised I was doing it to protect myself from getting hurt again. Through her writing you get to see her vulnerability and a humbleness which endears the reader. The only negative things were, if I'm being really picky - when there's a convo with her, her dad and her bro, and it's written as a conversation, it goes on a little bit too long, and when she meets her husband the pages where he says and she says are set out in a newspaper style, in two columns, so you have to page through and read one side first and then the other. However as with Neil's usual style there's lots of cartoon style drawings - same style/artist that was used in The Game, and they always bring a chuckle and a smile. As other reviewers have said, I respect Jenna so much after reading her book and it's showed me that as beautiful as she is on the outside, she is equally as beautiful on the inside. What an incredible woman.not what i was expecting

I bought this book not because of Jenna but Neil Strauss having loved "the game" however despite this book being very well written Jenna Jameson soon stole my attention and is now someone I have real admiration for. To some this will sound crazy having admiration for a porn star however once you understand the life she has had you will understand my comment. For someone to identify what is wrong with them and fix it shows true character this is why I have admiration for her, yes she had made mistakes and openly admits them. Some of the things she admits are shocking not because they are explicit but she has came through them and grew stronger. I really recommend this book as expected she does go into detail about her sex life and its not for everyone however for a mature reader this is not too explicit. I hope she writes a second book with Neil as a lot has changed since the ending in the book.Fabulous

I read this book when it first came out over a year ago and it is one of the best books I have ever read. Jenna has had an amazing yet unbelievably life, I found quite a lot of it shocking but very very honest. I was shocked to read about the things that have happened to her when she was younger, she has well and truly come out the other side. I think to read this and enjoy it you have to forget she is such a famous porn star an just enjoy the book. It portrays her in a totally different light and makes you realise she is actually a person who has had one hell of a life and not just a porn star. I was also very sad to hear that she and Jay have split up now. Please read the book! You will not be disappointed!Brilliant!

I think this was such a good read, very open but still fun. This shows Jenna in a different light. Really enjoyed it! Well done Jenna!"Pardon?" said the deaf man.

Lets face it. The one thing the world knows Jenna Jameson for isn't her writing skill or her acting skills. Yet there is a sense of facination as to why she does what she does. I knew nothing about Ms Jameson. I hadn't even seen a film with her in but the title kinda caught my eye, like it does. After I read this book i was left with a sense of what life can do to a person and what a person will do to escape the realities which they don't want to face. It wasn't brilliantly written but was enjoyable and kept me going. I feel that, perhaps, a lot of spin may have been added to make certain people look better or worse than they really are.
