Candy Girl
) 
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.
In Cody's words, "On one hand, bed dances made me want to retch. On the other hand, sixty clams could buy a lot of Zappa records and vodka Cokes." If men want to pay her $60 for nine minutes in bed, she's glad to take the money.
Cody's world is anonymous fantasy, and the chance to be as naughty as one wants to be. It's not all about the sex.....it's about taking the money from men. It's all business with a liberated attitude. But, like every romance novel, the book ends with redemption, virtue and a moral. If men are stupid enough to throw good money away on fake sex -- Diablo Cody is willing to take it and buy things she enjoys, like red Corvettes.

Candy Girl is sweet, and spicy!

I saw the movie "Juno", and being a resident of the Twin Cities, I had to get on my laptop and buy the book immediately. I read it in one sitting.
The book is well written and flows from one seedy subject to the next. You have to keep reading to find out what kind of perverts Miss Cody will run into next. It's funny, and gives you something to think about because it's all true. I loved this book and have passed it on to friends who have also devoured it. Like Siskel & Ebert, I give it two thumbs up!

Diablo Cody Doesn't Miss a Beat!Review created: 11/05/09
by:
) If you enjoy strong, sarcastic, and funny women, you'll love Cody. A typist by day and stripper by night (she also does a stint in the more intense world of peep shows where she masturbates in a box while men and/or women watch.). Cody breaks away from "growing up normal" to check out the raunch fest that is the underbelly of Minneapolis, where she moved originally to be with her internet boyfriend(who by the way supports her every move). If you think the humor in Juno could be a little more risque, this is definitely the book for you.

Hilarious and vulgar at the same time!Review created: 01/09/09
by:
If you liked Diablo Cody's screenplay, Juno, than you'll probably like this book. It's much more vulgar, but full of the same colorful language- unusual metaphores all over the place and clever vocabulary usage.
It's a very easy read, and I loved the characters. If you want a little spicy book to read quickly, this is the one for you! I would not recommend it to young readers, though. Or uptight conservatives... After all, the book is about making big money in the sex industry and she is very explicit. I laughed out loud several times and even blushed a time or two...

Humorous and entertaining. Rings true.By the young Oscar Winning Screenwriter (Juno) Diablo Cody. Fast paced. An interesting progression as Diablo naively enters an Amateur Night contest, gets hooked, gradually becomes a part-time stripper, and progresses through more hard-core nude clubs. Falls into the lifestyle with fake hair, nails, etc. and eventually becomes a peep show entertainer, all in the space of a year!
Having known some in "the biz" Diablo's accounts of her experiences rings true.

Title was exactReview created: 04/02/08

the book was a great read, Purchased it because the author was (I believe the screenwriter of the movie Juno) It was a great story of her time as an adult entertainer. I highly recomend this book. Especially if you have read and enjoyed Jenna Jameson's autobiography, How to make love like a porn star.
