What Traci Lords' autobiography might lack in writing style it makes up with Lords' undoubtedly shocking story and unique perspective on the porn industry. While the text might be a bit clunky or flat at points, Lords does have quite a lot of charm that makes her escape from trouble and abuse at a young age into a more and more flourishing adult very endearing to follow. Knowing that she grew into a happy and healthy woman also makes the awful early years of her life, which seemed to brandish her entire existence for a while, so much easier to bear.
Growing up as the poster child celebrity survivor of one of the ugliest crimes is a strange concept and I appreciate that she chose to share her point-of-view like this, with full confidence and self-reflection.

While this isn't the best-written (auto)biography I've read, it is definitely a very solid one, written by an interesting person with something to say.
