Summary: Ok book
Review: ... Anyways, here's my opinion of the book: I found itinteresting and the contact information it provided was accurate(mostof it). The only negatives about the book is that is focuses onmainstream porn and spends a great deal of time explaining how to makeyour own amateur porn movie. If you are interested in a non mainstreamsection, such as getting into fetish films, the information isprovided, but not too in depth. I'm currently working on my own pornweb site and this book did provide me with little information that Imight be able to use. For me, the rest of the book containedinformation which would be useful to people who know nothing aboutpornography. The book does feature a couple of interviews withcurrent and past porn stars who "made it big", althoughthere is limited information on web-based porn. To sum it up, Ienjoyed the book, but was a little disappointed that it didn't containmore in depth information.

Summary: I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS BOOK FOR YEARS
Review: And no, it's not because I myself want to be a porn star (in case Mom is reading this!), but I've always been really curious about how the adult industry works. Everyone talks about the seedy sets and sleazy producers, but I was totally amazed at how professional this book is. I expected a lot of poor writing and unorganized details, so I was really happy to discover exactly the opposite. I now feel very confident that I know how this business works and what I would need to do in case I decided to pursue this line of work (which I haven't yet, okay!) But if I did, I would thank Ana Loria because she's taken out a lot of the difficulty and sleazy aspects, and made it a totally professional and legitimate endeavor, as it should be. FIVE STARS AND MORE.

Summary: Loaded With Helpful Tips!
Review: As a writer for adult zines, I'm pretty sure I don't want to be a porn star myself... at least not full-time. But I have tons of friends and neighbors who always pester me with questions about the best way to break into the business. Well, I used to feel my answers were lame because it's kind of tricky to explain all the hoops you have to jump through to get a chance on the set. But Ana Loria's book breaks it down into three easy steps, and her advice is superb. The interviews are also fascinating and they portray life as a porn star quite realistically. Now I just need to make sure I keep enough copies on hand to give out to all the porn wannabes.

Summary: Good to read, better not to believe what you just read!!!!!!
Review: Curiousity got me to read this book. I have always wondered what it would be like to be a porn star and what steps a person would have to take to become one. After reading this book, I know nothing that I didn't already know about being a porn star.(and that wasn't much to begin with). I enjoyed reading this book, but only a FOOL would actually believe what is written here. The book seems quite exagerated, some of the names of talent agents and directors that are provided in this book are real, but try calling them and you'll soon find out how interested they are in hearing from you. The so-called interviews with porn stars seem too far fetched to be completely true. Anyways, this book was ok to read because I was curious, but it contains no real information that most people don't already know or anything the average person trying to get into the adult film making industry can really use as a guide.

Summary: Exopa Terra says Be a Porn Star, it could pay you well!
Review: Finally we get a candid view of how to become a Porn Star. Porn is big and getting bigger, soft, hard, and in between. We expect the industry to flourish over the next ten years as more people become more at ease with sex and watching sex. The Internet is just the beginning, the growth of DVDs, interactive TV, and other forms of voyeurism is going to create multi billion dollar enterprises. You can be a part of that and make great money. And if you are thinking about doing so we suggest you read this book.

Summary: It made my dream come true!
Review: For years and years, I knew it was my calling in life to have hot sweaty sex in front of the camera... ever since I discovered my dad's porn collection in the basement and watched the classic film Hump Up the Volume!! I knew _I_ too could be like my favorite stars in Hump Up the Volume, but I wondered how I could get involved in this fascinating business. Then I bought this amazing book, 1-2-3 Be a Porn Star! and it gave me all the know-how I needed to get started. It helped me get a manager, a sex coach, and acting lessons (because I knew I had to be able to act at least as well as all those porn stars!). Now I am enjoying a lucrative career, and I owe it all to this great little book! It's a must-have!

Summary: Well written, but it's a poor guide
Review: I am a female in the sex industry. I have been making porn films and striping for over 8 years and I laughed when I read this book. It's ok for rookies and average people who are interested in the porn industry(remember sex sells). I was disappointed in that the book mentions, you'll get up-to-date contact information for all the best talent agents, directors, and producers. that's a bunch of hogwash. The book claims that it offers a step by step guide to the porn industry, that's false. This book is lacking a lot of important information, but the average person looking in from the outside will obviously not know this. If anyone is trying to get into the porn industry, don't rely on this book for all the acurate information.
