"Number two for me is Manhattan, Woody Allen. It’s so real-life. Again, not about any extraordinary things. It’s really true to life and true to psychology. It’s funny. It takes me to Manhattan, which I love New York City. Woody had to be on the list and, for me, he comes in at number two. Also one of the great endings in history. The score, George Gershwin … It’s amazing."

"Classic, hugely influential series which went on to spawn more series, films, sneakers, video games, etc. Hideaki Anno is a genius. It has references to Kabbalah, Christianity and psychology plus incredible fight sequences and a pet penguin. I was intrigued from the first time I saw the “Tree of Life” in the opening credits. The main characters Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami are iconic and certainly influenced Neo Yokio."

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

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!
