Traci Lords: Underneath It All by Traci Lords - A Great Read

Nora Kuzma was a troubled teenager from Steubenville, Ohio; Traci Lords was the underage skin mag/porn queen who became the centerpiece of the adult video industrys greatest scandal. In reality, they were one and the same, the subject of this slick, if thin autobiography. But whats striking here is not the familiar storyline--confused, sexually abused teen falls in with drugs and the wrong Southern California crowd, forges fake IDs to become Penthouse Pet of the Month at 16 and the 80s hottest adult star, then arrested as focus of the Reagan administrations crackdown on porn, only to become reborn as cleaned-up, psychoanalyzed/rehabed purveyor of legitimate film, TV, and music career. Rather, whats striking is Lordss capacity for denial, compartmentalization, and myopia when it serves her ends.

Her scandalous tenure in the skin trade--undeniably the sole basis for her infamy and subsequent legitimate career--is glossed over here in a few score pages, with more attention paid to the heavy-metal musicians that dotted her life than the motivations and machinations of the Feds who literally changed her life; Slashs snake gets more ink here than Attorney General Ed Meese. Quick to ladle generous sympathy on her own plight, she heaps little but scorn upon those from the seedy past of her porn-star alter-ego, yet seems to have had few qualms about formally adopting that moniker as her legal name. --Jerry McCulley

A Great Read
I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was an open and honest look into Traci's life as told by her. Thiere are a few points in this book where her writing is not the best but I did not buy it just for the skilled writing, I get a kick out of people who bash autobiographies regarding exact grammer and lack of a well told story, after all it is real life and real life is messy.

If you have any interest in Traci, or the porn subject I recomend reading this book.
