This is a very hard book to review. The topic is important - college basketball recruits being given parties with strippers/escorts/prostitutes to encourage them to commit to the University of Louisville. A major problem for sure. But the author, Katina Powell, is a deplorable person and hard to feel sympathetic for. And, she gets her three daughters involved in the sex-for-money business. Just disgusting and hard to understand. I actually felt dirty and gross after reading it. And the "co-writer", Dick Cady, seems clueless throughout, but no place more than at the ending. "...the only penalty Katina had paid for her years in the sex trade." Really Dick? The only one? Did you read the same book that I did? The one that you "wrote"? How on earth did you win that award 40 years ago? Put this same information in the hands of an author like Jon Krakauer, and then it would be worth the cover price of $17.95. As this is - don't pay more than $1 if you want value for your money.

This book was very disturbing. Katina Powell and Andre McGee are sick individuals.
