Belle de Jour – The intimate adventures of a London call girl (06-048)

I missed most of the hype on the www, discovered her blog when she was already negotiating for a book deal. Her blog entries were funny to read, most readers were wondering about the million dollar question: is this fact or fiction?

Publishing a book under a fake name obviously only feeds the rumours, great marketing strategy, it certainly helps the sales.

The book itself is funny to read, it doesn’t really matter if it is true or not, it could be true, one can imagine how things go in her world. She writes her daily entries with a sense of humour, without leaving her own thoughts out. Her private life undoubtedly is affected by her job, her friends do not have names (someone might recognise them..), but are referred to by A2, S or some other description.

Being a high class prostitute is a weird way of making a living, but if you can also make a profit through a spin-off (this book), you are certainly clever and deserve the dosh.
