Editorial Reviews

Review
'this is a no-holds-barred account of the high-class sex trade, and an insight into the secret life of an extraordinary woman.' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH (11.9.05) 'Belle is wickedly witty and you'll pick up a kinky trick or three on the way.' COSMOPOLITAN (October) **** 'Belle's tamer anecdotes would make Graham Norton choke. But it does possess a raw emotional intimacy, which is surprising given that it started off as an internet blog...it is Belle's portrayal of city-life alienation that is so candid.' -- Isobel Shirlaw TELEGRAPH (24.9.05) 'Insight into life as a high-class hooker. Shocking but funny.' HEAT (1-7 October) **** 'A good diarist draws you in through intrigue or through empathy. Belle does both...Everyday middle-class London is caught with its trousers down.' GOOD BOOK GUIDE (1.1.06)

HEAT (1-7 October) ****
'Insight into life as a hig-class hooker. Shocking but funny.'

India Knight, SUNDAY TIMES (16.1.05)
'Belle writes with panache...[and] there are some sharp, funny moments.'


Customer Reviews

shocking, funny and a little scary5
I loved this book! It is witty, it is funny, but its really not for everyone. It really doesnt sugarcoat any details and gets straight to the point, this is exactly why I love this book. Really, people, if your going to buy a book entilted 'intimate adventures of a london call girl' dont expect fluffy bunnies, expect fisting, rimming and just general dirtyness. Its shockingly good.

i loved it!!5
i enjoyed it and found it well written, i liked how she could leap from the explicitness of an encounter with a client to despriptions of people heading home on the tube. any objections to this book appear to be on (shaky) moral ground. whether or not she is who she says she is is beside the point. i loved this book and found it infinitely better written than the bland Catherine M (where a spineless, unlikeable woman monotonously lists her passive passionless exploits with married men. oh, and calls herself a feminist.)

An insight into an alternative lifestyle4
Far from being the biographical account of a victim, this book tells the story of a high class call girl by choice. Detailing Belle's personal relationships, and those with her clients, this unique tale is wickedly written and very funny at times. It provides an upbeat and rare insight into the glamorous and not so glamorous parts of selling sex to wealthy clients with varying strange desires! Not to be missed especially for those wishing to pick up professional tips!
