Who?

R Rated

"Suzy put his fly rod into her large mouth bass"

Direct quote. Serious.

So she refers to herself as Suzy when recounting her exploits? On a side note I was seeing this provider off backpage and during our conversation it came up that she competed in xc and track during high school and at the community college level.

I just finished the book. There is no way that any redblooded male can read this book and not have serious daydreams about what it would be like. It is not X-rated, but it borders on some excitable things. It is a good read.

I don't know if this has already been discussed, but did anybody see her on Jim Rome's showtime show? As if it wasn't aleady obvious, she is still completely nuts.

It is worth reading.

I had no high expectations before opening the book but it wasn't so bad.

In fact, it was quite good.

Is it as good as the Nick Symmonds autobiography?

It is rare that an AUTObiography tells everything. Even reviewer Jonathan Gault reminds us this is a very slanted & whitewashed book. Heavy on the escort angle and much less so on her Wisconsin days, state of her marriage, etc.

Having read the book, I found it disturbing she has little regret of what she did. Even more disturbing is profiting off her activities with this book as her child is about to enter middle school. That's a major disconnect as a mother. If you're a high school freshman who enjoys being titillated with indirect sexual references, this would probably be a good read. Suzy is still messed up in her head and that is why this is a painful book to read. It's a matter of maturity, whether you find her lifestyle worthy of wanking over or whether you cringe at the thought of the destructiveness of her actions being on-going. Suzy is no longer a sympathetic figure.

Wonder if the public library purchases this book? I mean they have Tropic of Cancer, right?

Honestly, why should she regret what she did? It's her body, she should do what she wants with it. Millions of women do the same with theirs.

She got facts wrong with her running in the book. So she probably got some facts wrong about her escort days.

She really turned into a joke. Too bad.

She's a middle aged adult. Consenting too...she admitted that SHE LIKED IT. Why go all moral on the issue?

True. She liked it and I would bet she continues as long as it feeds her ego. I don't have a problem with it. I don't think she is happy going home to the "normal" life. I would bet she regrets getting married more than she regrets getting money for sex. I think marriage and a child were her biggest mistakes. The only concern I have is for her child. If she could somehow have a mature conversation with her daughter at an appropriate time then I would guess her daughter would be much more sexually well adjusted than most American women.

No way! When she married she punched her golden ticket as in married into a wildly wealthy family in the Hollywood advertising industry. The only reason she was so prominent and visible is Hamilton money and influence was there to promote the crap out of her.

A far cry from the America's sweetheart rises to the top fairytale story you've been led to believe all these years.

You admire a Woman who screws complete strangers for money?

Did you have parents who taught you values?

Posted the judgy judger. If she's okay with it, then what can you do? You can't protect people from themselves.

The child in the situation is horribly messy. Hopefully it's not too crazy in a house with SFH as a mother.
