Fairly Interesting

Any additional comments?

I thought the book was fairly interesting. I'm trying to find books on humor to improve my comedy writing. I did get some chuckles. I found it was basically, the author, an overqualified porn video clerk (college graduate?) complaining about her crappy minimum wage job and annoying customers. Hmmm... what things would porn customers do that would be annoying?... Much has to do with why they would get the videos in the first place. So, male bodily fluid issues on the rental returns, etc. By the end, I felt like I was reading about a conscientious, diligent, kind librarian, only a video porn one. And, she covered some of her customer relationships, kept at arm's length. I'm glad that she was able to move on to a better job.

Hilarious!

This is a great book to listen to! I really enjoyed her descriptions of the different customers. She is witty and fun to listen to. The only thing I didn't t like was the end, but when it comes down to it, it is a difference of opinion. Definitely recommend!

So good!

I laughed. I cried. I used way too much hand sanitizer!! Thank you for a look in to a world I would have otherwise not seen. This book was like people watching at the mall but without the throngs of teenagers and strollers. It was an absolute delight!

OMG Pee my pants funny!!!

A hilariously good listen. I’m of the age that I truly appreciate unwarranted spontaneous laughter. I will definitely be looking for more by this author.

Great stories about people and their porn

Remember video rental stores? Ali Davis has written funny and insightful stories about her temporary job and her clients. And her humanity always shines through. I’m so glad I stumbled on this book.

Sad has never been so hilarious

If you could sum up True Porn Clerk Stories in three words, what would they be?

I don't know. Why do I have to write a review based on your criteria? The book is a quick read (or listen as the case may be) and totally hilarious in an "oh my God do these people really exist?" kind of way.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ali. Why? Because she kicks ass and manages to be hilarious while asking deep social, psychological, and philosophical questions.

Have you listened to any of Ali Davis’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is her first, but I hope it's not her last.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

It's like Empire Records, but funnier, creepier, and...*ahem*....stickier.

Any additional comments?

This book will not disappoint. And if it does, then you have bad taste.

So. Funny.

Ali Davis keeps a straight face and a kind heart.

For anyone who's been in the retail trenches, or spent time in the sweat-scented aisles of an old fashioned video store, Ali Davis is your voice.

Ali has so much compassion for her customers, while still recognizing the shiftiness and downright unlikability of others. My favorite story is of Ali finding her moment of power, channeling her inner High School Principal and expelling a "jerker" from the porn basement—but things were not what they seemed.

Human nature is laid bare; the politics of singles, couples, and groups; and the "drift" from vanilla to kink. Ali records the faces that people present versus what they rent.
