Strip City was a book that I came upon without knowing what to expect of it. Knowing only a limited number of people within the adult entertainment industry, the stereotypical view of those who populate it wasn't one that I necessarily held in mind. While this book did little to "open my eyes" to what the industry is, it did entertain me considerably.

I found her forays into the history of the striptease interesting, and particularly enjoyed the anecdotes of Times Square that Scarlett provided. Also interesting were the comparison of the clubs found in Texas, Montana, and Las Vegas. I think that this book did more to paint broad pictures of human nature than it did to detail a trip across America. Also, her trip across America wasn't so much a trip as it was a series of jaunts. Oh, well.

All in all, this book was light entertaining reading that held my interest the whole time. I enjoyed Lily's writing style and blutness more than anything else. ( )

It was so fascinating to read about Lily's journey around the country, the insider bits about how different strip clubs are run, her motivations for becoming a stripper in the first place, and how the experience affected her. It's a lot more philosophical than I thought it would be; Lily really delves deeply inter her own feelings about what she is doing and whether it is damaging to her psyche. She also includes interviews with a couple of older women who were or still are in the business, which adds some historical perspective to her writing. She treats her subject with thought and humanity, instead of salaciousness, which is refreshing. Really a fantastic read! ( )

I could not wait to get started on this book. While entertaining, I felt that it was misrepresented. The subtitle (A Stripper's Farewell Journey Across America) led me to believe that this would be about a year of travel and stripping. What the different clubs were like, what the different people were like, etc. What you get it a tiny bit of this, but more introspection regarding why she got into stripping in the first place, how the industry has changed, whether she really wants to quit or not, what the first clubs she worked at were like... Not quite what I was sold on. Entertaining, but mis-sold and that annoys me. ( )

i don't know how I find these books to read! Interesting look at the life of a stripper who's on a farewell tour. Interesting life. ( )

Reading this book for me was like going to the beach for the day and coming home with my dream job. Not what I was expecting from something light but twice as good as anything I could have wished for--she is effortless at dropping genius images very very quickly, one right after another. I can't wait to read [a:Lily Burana|158739|Lily Burana|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg]'s next one, [b:I Love a Man in Uniform|5997536|I Love a Man in Uniform A Memoir of Love, War, and Other Battles|Lily Burana|/images/nocover-60x80.jpg|6172002].
