Book Reviews of Callgirl: Confessions of an Ivy League Lady of Pleasure
Book Review: hmm
Summary: 1 Stars
Not even half way through the book I was sighing as I flipped through the endless pages. I personally found the author's attempts at humor to be...dry. I was not amused by the mention of the "rat bastard boyfriend" as it seemed she thought the phrase to be cute and creative because it was used so much.
It seemed to me that the author wrote this book not to recall personal experiences, but to write whatever it is she thinks an audience would enjoy reading. Not to mention descriptive words and cliche phrases were tacked on to the storyline that made me roll my eyes up and away from the pages.
I even started to wonder if the author is really a woman.
I also couldn't get the feel that I was really there with the character at all. The storyline felt rushed like the author suffered from writer's block and just jotted down what she thought would be interesting as she neared a deadline.
I expected an explanation of street lingo or at the least an understanding of the "game" to be portrayed in the book. Years of working as a callgirl should have taught her some street smarts even in a "classy" environment.
I must mention that the character, to me, seemed naive. That makes it hard for me to believe she made it as an escort.
Judging from what I read, I got the feeling that she has/had low self esteem. The attempt to make herself look classy was misguided.
There is no set rate for escorting that I've heard of. So the 200 (not including a cut) per hr for full service doesn't seem very "classy". Street hookers have been reported to make more than that.
I can see her being a phone sex worker, yes. At best, she may have escorted for a night, even a week, but certainly not for years.
