Filled with truth, horror and riotous humor!:
I know now there is a heaven, because David Sterry has showed us hell. I love his writing style; it brings you into the story. You will not want to put it down. The fact that this is an autobiography makes the story even more horrifying. Yet since it is a catharsis of a true survivor, it seems that David brings somehow to an unexpected redemption. You must read this book carefully, a second time, if you want to really understand what David is trying to tell us.
Best book I've read all year!:
I was skeptical about reading this memoir because the sex industry is not a subject that I'm especially drawn to. My friend read and loved this book and strongly suggested that I read it. I took her advice and once I began to read I was completely unable to put Chicken down. The writing style of this book flowed so smoothly and was crafted so skillfully that I felt that I was watching the story happen rather than reading it off of a page. This book was fascinating and I commend David Sterry for his honesty...more info
Well written but too sad for most folks:
The author is abandoned by his family at 17 and ends up being raped by a stranger. After that encounter he's discovered by a "friendly" manager who sells him to well to do women as a male prostitute. This aint Richard Gere in American Gigolo and it's not Deuce Bigelo either. There's no romance or beauty in the boy toy business.The book is not fun but it's well written. You get an unfiltered look into an ugly world. Luckily, the author escaped the chicken life relatively unscathed.
How successful will...
