This book is a memoir written by a master storyteller. The book is documented were it needs to be by Flynt's notes, diaries, and state records. However, there are no end notes and no index so going back to check on details is a bit difficult. Even so the book is smooth reading, well written, and unlike so many memoirs, well documented and an example of how a memoir should be written. ( )
