Book Reviews of The Chicken Ranch: The True Story of the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
Book Review: Mediocre at best
Summary: 2 Stars
Hutson's intentions may be good, but the end product leaves a lot to be desired. Despite one reviewer who loves it so much he feels compelled to give it gushing reviews over and over again, this slender volume is short on anything resembling depth. Hutson devotes much of her effort to tracing the history of the Chicken Ranch, but she jumps the proverbial shark when she reaches modern times. Interviews with the actual participants--apart from some paraphrased conversations with anonymous former employees--are sadly lacking, and Hutson's prose is gossipy and prone to rambling editorializing. For pure entertainment value, check out Larry L. King's "The Whorehouse Papers" instead.
