Learn Pole Dancing by Lillianna Blake

3.0

---

I enjoyed it but it is really just a short story. Having listened to the first couple in this series now, it seems like it was a longer book that was chopped into chunks to make the author more money. ($4.98 for each book at Audible - and each book is under an hour.) Aside from the economic short comings of the book, I find that the story itself is pretty unrealistic and the message is muddy. I have a hard time believing that someone who has never pole danced could do what Sam does. And the "I love my body no matter what my size" is at odds with the compliments on her 70 pound weight loss and the comic device of the "Wardrobe malfunction". The story really does not stand alone well, but it was enjoyable if you think of it as a kind of screwball comedy - fluff read.

I see it is free on Kindle - if I were recommending this to a friend I would tell them it was worth it if it was free. Since I did purchase this I will comfort myself with the fact that it didn't suck, I have listened to much worse that I paid much more for, and my money will support an author - and that is something to feel good about.
