This book is a thousand things, but at its foundations it's a book about the terrible things that happen to sex workers. It treats all graphic content with the respect and dignity it deserves, and discusses this heavy reality as a way to build to a more liberatory politics. That said, it's still a heavy read.kirstenf's review against another edition

The writing style was quite dense and academic so although this is to be expected for a piece of non - fiction, it was quite inaccessible in my opinion. Additionally there was a lot on what is happening that does not help sex workers and very little in comparison on what would help.
Despite this I found it a very interesting read! Despite the slow pace, I was always reading more and enjoyed learning about an area that I don’t know much about. There was lots of data and references to further information.
Overall I enjoyed this text although I found it difficult to read at times which has brought the rating down.

An emotionally challenging read. Not just because of the awful treatment towards sex workers' but also the vitriol from others (mostly not sex workers') who feel their opinion is more important than asking the demographic being addressed, in this case sex workers', what they feel they need.
I did also find the different political terminology a challenge but very well explained by the authors.
There are some ideas in here that I find a bit frustrating, because they seem too big to achieve but that is not the fault of the authors', but the fault of the law and society at large.
