Prostitution: On Whores, Hustlers, and Johns

Rating:
Summary: Not what I was looking for
Review: I would not recommend this book for someone looking for personal histories of prostitutes, johns, pimps, etc. To be honest, opening the book at almost any page, one is confronted with the most tedious 'sociological' jargon: tongue-twisting sentences, theoretical analyses of 'data', 'semi-structured interview schedules'... The lack of an index is a big drawback in a book of essays: it is impossible to find the answers to the interesting-sounding questions proposed by the jacket blurb (eg. 'Is it possible for prostitutes to enjoy their work?') without becoming tired of wading through statistics and jargon. I think this is of more interest to other academics working in the same field. I like the cover though.
