Customer Reviews

So funny!

I read this book last week while I was on vacation and laughed hysterically the entire book. I've always sort of wondered, you know, what it was like behind the scenes, and this book really gives the reader a wonderful glimpse in such a humorous way. Thanks!

Porn has a script? !

For anyone who has ever watched a porno and stopped to wonder who could possibly end up writing such a thing, let alone attempt to make a successful career out of, Spitznagel's 'Fast Forward' is a both an enlightning and highly entertaining book which gives a hilarious first hand account of what working for one of Hollywoods' most infamous and notoriously dirty little industries is like. Everything you could have possible wanted to know about the porn industry, from the script to the directors, to the naked models themselves is described in larger that life detail in a sincere and humorous way that only Spitznagel could have brought to life. Definately worth checking out!!

Weekend by the beach reading

You may not think of a book about an aspiring porn screenwriter as exactly what you want to cuddle up to by the sea this summer, but Eric Spitznagel's book was the kind of page turner that could put Jackie Collins to shame. Jackie Collins with a dildo that is... There are so many books to sift through on the marketplace out there that wax the same theme over and over... not this book. It is unique and funny. Definitely worth a purchase so you can say you read one of Spitznagel's first when he is famous.

Yes! Yes! Oh, g-d, yessssss!

Faaaaaantastic! I enjoyed every hilarious page. This writer knows how to make a woman feel good.

HILARIOUS!

Sure, you hear the word "porn" and you think raunch, and while this book has it's share of filthy good times, it's delivered with humor, the sometimes author-shared hilarious creeps and a certain endearing honesty. It wonderfully depicts the author's amazement with his adventure in porn screenwriting. I loved it!!
