Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated The Pornography Industry: What Everyone Needs to Know in Books
Jul 12, 2018
As someone who is interested in psychology, sociology, and sexology I found this book truly fascinating. I loved how detailed this book was and that Shira Tarrant cited her sources. When reading a psychology book I always want the sources because that just gives me more and more things to research and look into.
I felt that Shira Tarrant did a good job at remaining unbiased in this book. You can tell that she has certain opinions but it didn't feel like an opinion piece which is refreshing especially on such a taboo topic. The research was interesting and well done. You can really tell that the author took their time in writing the book and researching the topic.
I learned quite a lot about the pornography industry. If you're interested in learning something new, I highly recommend this book!
