Dirty Thirty: A Memoir

Great book. Fun read and always an interesting perspective into the life of a porn star. After reading her first book I was definitely excited to get this one and it was pretty neat how Amazon released it 1 week before brick and mortar.

Just joking, straight, honest, no holds bared, open, truthful (I think). Understand her daughter has a way above I.Q., like her mother. Is there anything in your sex life you haven’t done. There is humor in this book. Old Ron Florida

As a huge Asa Akira fan I really liked this book. Now that being said her first book Asa Akira: Insatiable is better book and if you haven't read that one yet I highly recommend doing that first, so you can get the whole story and a back ground knowledge of what she was going threw and thinking before she turned 30. Now this book Asa Akira: Dirty Thirty is a book about the year when Asa Turns 30 and how it effects her not only as a adult star but also as a western women. There are funny and entertaining parts and there are sad parts much like her first book. But it hits different because this is clearly a new page being turned for Asa and her career, and if you know where she is now in her life (which is motherhood with a new guy and being a ambassador for phub) you see some foreshadowing. Basically what I'm saying is if you haven't read the first book please do so, then read this book if you want to see more of Asa and also see how the seed of who she is today was planted. I love Asa Akira!

I have read every porn star memoir and Asa's is definitely the best. Her writing style is funny and each chapter is a short story about her life. I love the haikus and I enjoy Asa's writing a lot. I knew Asa as a porn star but never really watched her porn. Getting to know her through this book made me look at her porn with an "awww" feeling. Especially the scenes with her and her adorable husband, Toni Ribas. He seems like such a sweet guy and they have the ideal porn couple relationship with clear boundaries and lot of communication. Toni also seems really good at putting up with Asa's crazy tantrums. This was such a fun read. I enjoy Asa's books way more than her porn. She's an amazing porn star but I hope she makes time to write more books! I'm a total fan.

not much insight or substance to this book that you didn't already experience in her first book "insatiable". Personally I believe this book should have been incorporated into "insatiable" and sold as one memoir, not two.

I wish Asa and I can be besties, she is cool as hell. Thank you Asa for being you, and sharing your awesome haikus with the rest of us ;-)

Love the book! I discovered a small tear in one of the pages but it didn't interfere with reading it. It came quicker than expected. THANK YOU! I suggest also reading her first book if you get the chance!

her 1st was better, but this 1 is still entertaining and insightful. it seemed as though she ran out of steam or hit a creative roadblock (writer's block) in the 2nd half and went into a journal mode.

I've read several biographies of "working" women, and have always been impressed by the honesty and literacy of these accounts. This book is the best of the lot! The author is intelligent, educated, and communicates well as a writer. She is also very funny. The sex is almost an aside - the real story is about her life outside of her performances in the sex industry. Her relationships with other women, and the male friends in her life are the real substance of the book. Certainly, porn has been a major influence on her life, but the lack of it in her writing will not detract from her ability as an author at all. I have often wondered if the women who perform for porn films are forced by their circumstances, such as child abuse, addiction to drugs, or sold into sex slavery; so it is refreshing to learn that some women choose this profession as a liberating, and empowering act. This was the most expensive e-book that I have ever purchased, and I decided to make the purchase to encourage the author to pursue her writing career, because I do think she has talent as a writer. Well, done, Asa.

Versión Kindle con buen formato. En cuanto al libro: Es lo que esperaba, una serie de relatos bastante fáciles de leer y jocosos, creo que para disfrutar el libro debes ser seguidor de Asa y conocer su trabajo, de esa forma se disfruta más, algunos detalles de redacción no me convencieron pero igual se disfruta.

It is a great book, but not like I expected at all. It‘s relatively un-porn-like, but rather an honest biography telling storys you would not expect to be told. It is definitely worth the read.

Makes you understand the truth about the adult entertainment world. ASA is such a beautiful and funny woman. I loved reading both books.

If you are wanting a book about the pain and heart ache of working in porn this is not for you. Asa has wit and sass and front, she talks openly about her sexuality, her unusual marriage , her unusual life. Its not a bed time sex read but an honest blog. She can write as good as the other stuff she is more famous for.
