A tour de force memoir of excess-

Ms. Small dispences with hard intel on the dark insides of PornValley California.AV is a cut throat ugly business & Ms. Small pulls no punches....


Ought be required reading for anyone even thinking about performing in or working on adult films.

VERY NSFW as it describes how sausage is made...

I’m Not sure

I’m not sure what I just read, or where it’s rightful place among books lies. I almost stopped in the first third, but somehow I came to like her, even among some descriptions she uses that made me cringe. I’ve learned that it takes all kind to make a world, and after reading so many memoirs and learning of so many things people do and experience, nothing surprises me. In the end, I rated it so highly for both her writing technique and her courage to tell such a story. I first thought I’d wandered into the back room of the video store by mistake. My first response was WTF? You’ll just have to decide for yourself.

Happy. I wish more books like this existed. A+

Oriana Small aka Ashley Blue did a great job writing and reading her work for us. I really enjoyed this and appreciate the frank, direct way she tells her stories. I have always found the adult industry interesting and I'm sure I'd work in the field if I lived in that area. I really enjoyed the pacing, the thoroughness of Oriana Small's stories and the intelligent way this woman's life is portrayed. She's amazing, this book was amazing. I loved it and recommend it highly to people who like learning about the behind-the-scenes aspect of the adult film industry. I hope she continues to write because she is clearly great at it.

Loved it

The narration was easy to listen to and I feel like each chapter came to life so easily.

Questions Answered

Her story answered a lot of questions I had about how someone would chose to work in the porn industry. Very good book....
