Author: Victoria Coren & Charlie Skelton
Name: Once More, With Feeling - How We Tried To Make The Greatest Porn Film Ever
Rating:
Interesting concept, but the execution is slightly flawed. As interesting as the foreign sex workers of Amsterdam are, it never became clear to me why exactly they had to film there and have such trouble finding people etc, when they could just have gone to Los Angeles and filmed it there in 5 days with people readily available a phone call away.
Also, it's impossible to take the book entirely for real. It's all just too nice, always bordering on the line between things you can give away and things you just can't in a book like this. In real life, at least some of the things in either the authors' lives or during the filming would have crossed over to become things you just cannot mention publicly, so it's obvious that something has been censored, you just don't know what it is. For example, their claim that they've never had sex with each other just fits too nicely into the book's profile, and what's more, it's pretty much unthinkable to imagine them admitting that "well, there was this one time when we were both drunk and ended up having sex...".
Oh, and the back blurb lies about Victoria's "affair" with one of their actors; they don't have an affair at all.
