Christy Canyon pulls back part of the curtain on her life.
80s porn legend Christy Canyon shares the professional highs and personal lows of her life as a porn queen. The book alternates between harrowing (her very first hardcore shoot) to hilarious (the shooting of her first comeback scene) as Canyon goes from a naive and rebellious runaway teenager to a therapy strengthened professional ready to earn her true worth. Canyon manages to tell very personal, and sometimes quite painful, stories while maintaining a level headed distance from the subject matter (herself). Thus the reader gets a pretty detailed look at how working in such an industry can either be empowering or demoralizing, and how easy it is to be taken advantage of or to be treated poorly for doing so. Love or hate the adult film industry, by the book's end you will probably have an admiration for the financial success and mental balance that Canyon has obviously worked so hard to achieve. Recommended.

Bouncy, Beautiful, Brooding and most definitely NOT Boring!
I've been a huge fan of Christy's since her earliest days in Adult Films. This, her first autobigraphy, has served to make me an even bigger fan by showing her human side, her humor, her stumbles and her perseverance.

This is quite a lady who's been through a lot. Her writing is strong, witty and very engaging.

While reading of her early days in film, a part of me felt a bit guilty about my complicity as a fan, however remote, in the early and instant success that she found in a life that so ostracized her from most members of her dear and broken family. But in an industry that chews up and spits out many pretty little girls, I learned of a Christy Canyon who grew, evolved and is now stronger than ever as a real woman.

If you are interested in the woman or in the business, Christy's ride is a very good read. Buy "Lights, Camera, Sex!" and enjoy.

The only reason I didn't give Christy's first work a full five stars is that she's working on her second book and I want her to have something to shoot for!

Oh...and did I mention that I'm a FAN???

The new voice
Christy Canyon's biography is a stunning achievement because it shows the person behind the pornstar. Brilliant, candid, graphic, hilarious, revealing, and with all of its pain and beauty, Christy lets us in. She welcomes her reader openly and tells us exactly what happened and how she got to where she is. Her life is not unlike any of our own thus making her journey accesible, fun and harrowing all at the same time. This book is not just for the fans, its for everyone. Highly recommended.
