"Do you really want to know what it’s like to be a porn star? Brace yourself, because I’m not going to pull any punches. Here’s what a ‘busy day at the office’ might mean for me...."

So begins the no-holds-barred autobiography of Monica Mayhem - a porn star and proud of it. In her funny and disarmingly candid voice, she reveals the ins and outs of making it big in Los Angeles, the pornography capital of the world. Just how did a girl who was taunted at school because her eyes were "too big", and who carved out a respectable career for herself trading oil futures in the financial markets of Sydney and London, go on to make over four hundred hardcore adult movies (and counting), win numerous industry awards, and even land herself a role in the first Sex and the City movie? From her troubled childhood to her first show at the famous Spearmint Rhino in London to her favorite sex toys, Monica reveals how she built her empire - which now includes hundreds of films, a Web site, and lucrative burlesque performances.

Absolute Mayhem lifts the lid off the sex, rock, and mayhem of Monica’s truly extraordinary professional life and unveils the private person behind it all.

Editorial reviews

Porn isn't just titillation for Monica Mayhem - it's her career. In this performance of Mayhem's biography, Absolute Mayhem: Secret Confessions of a Porn Star, Australian voice actor Mindy Kennedy seductively exposes us to Mayhem's life on film. Kennedy's portrayal of Mayhem is multifaceted: from wounded as she describes her childhood with an alcoholic mother, to positively purring with satisfaction when spilling the goods on her adult career: "It's being desired that's my drug of choice," she playfully teases. Packed with insider information on the porn biz (note to the squeamish: Mayhem isn't shy about showing the goods), Absolute Mayhem is entertaining listening for porn aficionados and curious onlookers alike.

A woman with that life and career seems to have a total grasp on who she is and where's she's going, of course hind sight is 20/20 and the narrator's accent is stunning.

I found it very eye opening to learn about the other side of the screen. The impact of choices at the beginning of Monica’s career and the effect of later opportunity. I enjoyed the story.

Interesting Perspective

Audible bios are generally better when read by the author/subject of the biography. Mindy Kennedy doesn't sound like a porn star, but more like a girl from next door. She reads in a way that creates unintentional humor. The story of Monica Mayhem is relatively predictable: Poor girl from a broken family turns to stripping. Stripping leads to porn. After a while the story is somewhat boring because she tries to explain her Wiccan beliefs. So, I'll give this away. She's a "witch", but doesn't want you to think it's evil. Eventually, she talks about how the porn industry doesn't make much money because so many videos are free on the internet and girls are doing it for low rates.

Fun, but eventually bleh

Narration was good and it was a somewhat interesting listen. It did feel like some of the stories were dramatized or glamorized in some ways. The lack of naming names was somewhat annoying. Still, it was worth the time.

Not Bad.
