Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Books
Genre:	Biographies & Memoirs
Author:	Belle de Jour

"The Secret Diary of a Call Girl" is now on its second season on UK's ITV2. I first came across the show when it premiered and I found it funny and full of wit. I followed the links on the internet and came across the blog that started it all. Have a look and enter the world of Belle.

When the book came out, I asked a friend in London to get it for me. She arrived several days ago with not just the original book but also the sequel! Thanks Gina! =)

The writing is still as intelligent, witty and insightful as the blog. It shows the level of intelligence and education the author has. This is not your typical prostitute-writes-her-story kind of thing. It's an interesting read. And since Belle de Jour is just the author's nom de plume it adds to the whole blog/tv show/book's sense of mystery. While the book is not for the easily offended (I found myself grimacing and uttering an audible "gakk"), it IS a funny and honest look at people in general through the eyes of Belle.

Excerpt:
Belle's A-Z of London Sex Work
K-N
N is for Noise
The alternative to music. He wants feedback; give it to him. But for goodness sake, don't lay on the porn screeches in a cheap imitation of passionate frenzy unless he clearly requests it. They're paying for sex, not stupid.

If that kind of wit doesn't make you laugh then this book isn't for you. =D
