Editorial Reviews

Review

“Fascinating.” — Entertainment Weekly

“In this book, Jameson gets you rooting for her. . . . Captivating . . . a real person comes through in its page. . . . Lively, hellacious, entertaining, sharp, feisty, and touching enough to earn Jameson the right to wear the ‘Heart Breaker’ tattoo on her right butt cheek.” — Salon.com

“Thespian talent notwithstanding, an adult movie performer’s greatest asset is stamina; and by that measure Jenna Jameson the author deserves accolades. She is tireless. . . . Jenna Jameson aims high . . . for aspiring performers, it’s a gold mine.” — New York Times Book Review

“With its wit…its celebrity dish…and its frank, one-fisted prose style…the queen of porn’s autobiography is destined to become a lowbrow classic. Remarkably appealing and honest…should earn Jameson some of the mainstream acceptance she so clearly desires.” — Publishers Weekly

“It will undoubtedly move her into the mass market even further.” — Wall Street Journal

“As you’d expect, it’s chock full of oh-my-God tidbits.” — Newsweek

“G-stringed Horatio Alger story.” — New York Times

“Wow!” — Esquire

Fashion-magazine-quality color photographs…So far How to Make Love Like a Porn Star has received more favorable notices than just about any prescriptive book ― on sex or any other topic.” — New York Post

“Racy” — Star

“Jenna Jameson is the biggest adult film star in the world. . . . She’s a legend in her own time.” — Playboy

“Jenna Jameson is an Icon.” — 101 magazine

“The woman who put the star in porn star.” — Rolling Stone

From the Inside Flap

In the underbelly of Las Vegas, a cesspool of warring biker gangs and seedy strip clubs, gawky, brace-faced Jenna Massoli was transformed into the bombshell Jenna Jameson. Today, Jenna is the biggest star in the history of adult movies, consistently ranked as one of the most beautiful women alive. But behind the glamour and the meteoric rise to fame was a path paved with tragedy and heartbreak. As a teenager--drawn into a dark and chaotic world where rape, abuse, and murder were commonplace--Jenna began her rapid downward spiral of addiction and degradation . . . while at the same time becoming the porn world's biggest crossover success story.

Her intimate memoir, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star, is a shocking sexual history, an insider's guide to the secret workings of the billion-dollar adult film industry, and a gripping thriller that probes deeply into Jenna's dark past. Mix in hilarious anecdotes, adrenaline-pumping triumphs, and photos from Jenna's private collection, and you have a tell-all autobiography unlike any other.

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2004
Jenna Jameson pours out her heart and soul in this autobiography that gives us a detailed and colorful account of her exciting life and career. I was aware of who she was from the time I saw her in a porn movie many years ago. There was something so sensual about the way she performs for the camera. If I could use the word grace about something related to porn, in my mind Jenna Jameson is the most graceful porn diva out there.

To be honest I was enticed about the title and the cover when I bought the book. The book is very thick, but don't be afraid, as over a third of its content is comprised of pictures and collages of beautiful Jenna. However, I found it hard to read in the subway as the revealing pictures got a lot of attention by other commuters. The fix to this problem was to start carrying a white sheet of paper that would cover the pictures while I would read the text.

Jenna's life is exciting, sad, dramatic, abusive, humorous, and extravagant all at the same time, and she does an excellent job at opening her heart to the public. She takes the reader on a journey that starts with a naughty little girl that plays with Barbies and also has a certain tomboy side to her, and finishes with a giant porn diva that sits at the top of thirty six billion dollars a year industry. This journey is full of ups and downs, which Jenna manages to turn into constant learning and self-exploration. She is very generous at sharing these learning experiences in the shapes of Jenna philosophies about family, love, relationships, sex, drugs, or all kinds of other dependencies. And as nobody in a healthy state of mind should take these philosophies at face value, they are nevertheless entertaining and will give you some interesting perspectives on all these well-debated issues.

The book is a wealth of knowledge about the porn industry. If you are thinking about making it in this business, this book will be your new Bible. It is fascinating to find out about the sad self-destructive lives of most porn stars. If you are like me (or every guy I have talked to) and wondered about being a porn star, reading this book will definitely make you reconsider.

Also, if you enjoy juicy gossips (who doesn't?) about the rich and famous, this book will prove to be very informative at that matter. You will find interesting bits about Nicholas Cage, Nikki Sixx, Tome Lee, Marilyn Manson, Derek Jeter, Joe Montana, Pamela Anderson, or the Undertaker. Who would have thought that Marilyn Manson likes to cuddle after he has sex? Who would have thought Nicholas Cage smells like the homeless people at the subway stations?

I will highly recommend this book to anybody that likes to mix up his or her reading materials. If you are a fan of biographies, this book is must! If you have taken an interest on the porn industry this book will be eye-opening (no pun intended).

This book was great and I loved it so much!!!
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2004
If you read books to be entertained then I recommend this book. If you have a religious or conservative agenda, you're not likely to like this book. Therefore, you have a disparity of opinion in reviews. I do not watch porn movies and have only seen her on Howard Stern or E! TV. Sometimes she is attractive and sometimes I find her to be overrated. But she projects a friendly, engaging personality that I think draws people to her.

This is an autobiography which may confuse some people by the title. But there are touches of "How to Make Love Like at Porn Star". Specifically, the testimonial from the unidentified male porn star. Not a picture of a glamorous life but well worth the read.

But in the end this is an autobiography of a young girl who gets in with the wrong crowd and by 16 she is stripping and living with a much older tattoo artist with a serious meth addiction. Jenna is good at her craft and quickly moves from dancer to model to porn performer and along the way develops relationship and drug problems. For people who do not like strippers/porn stars, you'll see all the stereotypes that you expect.

It's interesting to hear her tell her story with her point of view. Is she always right? Of course not. Can she be a very tough witch that you wouldn't want to be around? Absolutely. But at the end of the day, she's developed a great career in her chosen field and is making a lot of money. AND, she's written a very entertaining book.

If you are looking for a book that is up close and personal, this is it, but a bit too much. You will learn that with all the beauty Jenna Jameson has, brains and maturity are lacking. A crazy ride this book offers from her inability to handle life by diving into drugs and sex, and learning that she has no strength to depend on her self. She is the kind of girl that is always in need to be in a relationship, via man or woman, because she lacks the mental maturity and emotional stability to be strong in her own right. A very long book and entertaining, but towards the end it just gets exhausting reading about how hopelessly dumb she really is, always falling in love with guys who abuse her, needing drugs to forget life, thinking she's the queen, etc. Some girls lack strength and have to be in a relationship all the time, I know a few and they tend to be kind of nuts. But one thing this book did do to me is change the way I view Jenna Jameson, I could probably never watch another video of her again, and many of the girls she mentions as well. When you learn the secrets behind the porn scenes it kind of puts a bad taste in your mouth, at least that is what happened with me. The drug abuse, the rapes, the lack of maturity, and so on. But as for the book, it is worth the read, you won't be disappointed in the book but you might be disappointed in her.
