Product Description
Book Description
Belle de Jour is the nom de plume of a high-class call girl working in London.This is her story. From debating the literary merits of the works of Martin Amis with naked clients, entering a hotel with two whips strapped to the lining of her coat, and juggling her love-life with her professional one, Belle's no-holds-barred account of her experiences as a prostitute is frank, funny and completely compelling. Since the summer of 2003, Belle's award-winning website has charted her day-to-day adventures on and off the field. In it, she has confessed her triumphs and disasters in the world of dating, introduced readers to her friends N and 'the four As' and chronicled the ins and outs of her working life. Now she elaborates on those diary entries, revealing how she became a working girl, what it feels like to do it for money - and why she can recommend it - and where to buy the best knickers for the job. Sometimes shocking, often hilarious, always thought-provoking, the 'Intimate Adventures' is the story of a 21st-century Moll Flanders, giving us an illuminating glimpse behind the scenes of the high-class sex-trade, and an insight into the secret life of an extraordinary, ordinary woman.

Wow!,

This review is from: Intimate Adventures/London Call Girl TV (Paperback)
Like the series, this one is hard hitting and so real! It's also kinda fun to read, as in you want to know what happens next and so on and so forth. It's an easy read, that's for sure and no pun intended! I found Belle to be captivating and interesting. All in all, this is one I am glad I picked up! I also liked: Take Your Shirt Off: A Novel of Hollywood.

This review is from: The Intimate Adventures Of A London Call Girl (Paperback)
I loved this book so much that I read it in two days. It' so funny to read and the author is a magnificent writer! I felt it did give me a sense of her experience of a call girl, which is very different that what I've been reading lately (books on human trafficking and the underworld of the sex industry). I really enjoyed the stories and the people she met along the way. Great read!

Excellent, just like the series,

This review is from: Intimate Adventures/London Call Girl TV (Paperback)
I am a major fan of Secret Diary of a Call Girl, at TV-series based on the book. As usual, I watched most of the seasons before buying it (therefore I am rarely disappointed).
The book was written by Dr Brooke Magnanti, who worked as a high class escort during her studies. She remained anonymous until The Sunday Times revealed her identity. The format is similar to Bridget Jones' Diary. It talks about sex. a lot. It is very raw. For instance, Belle gives advice about everything sex-related. From how to be an excellent escort to the art of fisting. This book is not for the faint-hearted or the super strong feminists, who will say it glamorizes prostitution. If you still talk about the "birds and the bees" and call a penis a wee-wee and a vagina a va-jay-jay, you might find the book a little hard to read. Yet, now's the time to start saying the real words for everything related to sexuality! Highly recommended if you are a fan of Bridget Jones and Anaïs Nin, or you simply enjoy reading about sex. PS. Enjoy the faces of the people around you when you read the book in a public place. They are either intrigued (and are too ashamed to ask about it) or completely disgusted. It's hilarious.
