Full Brazilian: A true story of life, love and lap-dancing

by Cintia Silva, Teena Lyons

Brazilian model Cintia Silva arrived in the UK with little else but a burning desire to make some money and turn her life around after enduring a poverty-stricken upbringing, tinged by tragedy. After barely scratching a living in the hugely competitive world of modelling, she plunged into the the multi million pound industry that is lap-dancing. In a few years she grew to be one of the UK's highest grossing dancers and she has performed in London, Paris, New York and Brazil, often netting £1000s in an evening.

Full Brazilian: A true story of life, love and lap-dancing is Cintia's true story of her life in some of the world's best-known clubs. She shows how the most successful dancers 'follow the money', working from club to club, just to be in the right place, at the right time, when the richest punters come out to play.

Intimate and very revealing, Full Brazilian: A true story of life, love and lap-dancing has it all: glamorous girls, firm friendships, illicit sex, treachery and big, big money.

[FF Jensen]

A page turner, with the added value of being based upon a true story. It isn't just a collection of anecdotes from Cintia Silva's experience as a lap dancer. There's humour, pathos and romance as well.

Great Novel!!

Action packed, full of suspense and leaving everyone thirsty to know more, Cintia has portrayed herself and the industry in a very tasteful way which allows people to really put themselves in her shoes.

Overall I give it 10/10.
