Flawless

I am a straight, married woman. I am certainly not the target audience for this book. But I am here to tell you that this was by far the most enjoyable reading experience I have had in at least ten years. If you are about to buy Augusten Bourroughs, David Sedaris, or John Updike, promise me you will at least buy Blue Blake's book at the same time. He takes a page from all of those writers--revealing, hysterical, and brilliantly sophisticated (which come to think of it are probably adjectives that describe the author himself) but makes it entirely his own. You will never laugh so hard. What surprises most about this book, however, is how inspiring it is. Every time I picked it up, I would scream in delight at my husband that he HAD to read it. Obviously my joy was stemming from the raucous, delicious humor throughout the story. But more important, Out of the Blue is a tale of survival and hope, tenacity and raw ambition, and drives home the idea that following your dreams really is possible, making life-long friends all over the world along the way. In fact, this is the quintessential American Dream story. (Sorry, Mrs. Palin) Mr. Blake takes us through his rough, poor beginnings in Nottingham, abusive father and all, without indulging in any sort of precious self-pity. By not falling into this common auto-biographical trap he ends up completely seducing the reader and leaves you wanting more upon more of his shameless beauty. I am sending this book to all my friends, straight and gay. And I am going to try and start living my life with a little more irreverent courage in the spirit of a man who has clearly never been afraid of the terrifying exquisiteness we call life.

Oooooh Baby!

What a kick! A great read, quick, sexy, intimate and hysterical. Make sure you have an apple martini nearby when you sit down to read this book. Blue Blake does a fabulous job telling his story and lets the reader in on some juicy tidbits along the way. From England to New York to Florida and finally Los Angeles, California we get to share the exploits of Blue's extraordinary life. Not to mention all the sex! The best part of this book is Blue's fantastic, always joyful outlook on a life that has presented him with several hurdles. He jumps them all beautifully and the result is a book full of humor, titillation and a glimpse into one of the most profitable industries in the U.S. Did I mention all the sex? Have fun with this one.

HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO BE A PORN STAR

THIS IS THE HOW TO GUIDE FOR YOU! Blue Blake's book is funny,smart,sexy and incredibly tender. You get a total insider's view of every side of the porn business. The love story between him and Harold ties a bow completely around this book making it a fabulous read. It is full of deep non meaningful sex that everyone can enjoy. A fast easy read that will make you laugh

An Outrageous Memoir

Blake, Blue. "Out of the Blue", Running Press, 2008. An Outrageous Memoir Amos Lassen Blue Blake is one of the legends of gay porn. He personifies the muscle jock but is also a guy who is always willing to get down and dirty. His story is fascinating and he writes in a very witty manner and the book is very funny in sections. Blake's youth was spent in England and is views of England are very well written and extremely interesting but it is his life in porn that people will want to read. He has plenty to say about the industry and Blake is very honest and he tells great stories. There is lots of behind-the-scenes gossip and plenty of dish and Blake tells it like it is while reveling in his own naughtiness. He began as an actor/model who worked with every major gay porn star, won many awards and was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a porn legend. Blake has shown his stuff in over 60 films and now he has his own production company and he directs. He comes across as a really nice guy who is sincere and is a lot of fun (and he is wonderful to look at as well). He tells us about having sex with straight men and with those that have no rigid sexual identification. And the stories he tells are so much fun. "Out of the Blue" is a great read that will keep you laughing (and informed).
