    I finished reading the book last night. It's a mildly interesting read, a mix of writing that implies it is non-fiction. Yet what undermines the book is the lack of substantiated quotes which suggests it is fiction...

    What I would like to know is what happened to the deal between Levi, Warshavsky and Kremen. The book argues Levi and Warshavsky assisted in funding Kremen for a majority stake in sex.com. Warshavsky skipped town to live in Thailand after his business(es) collapsed.

    I also think Keiren should have employed a better editor, the book avoidable errors and a mix of Americanisms and English...

    A note to Kieren, there is some great research and he should be commended for it...

    maybe... the problem is most of the drama occurs between documents being sent and phone calls between Cohen and Kremen... neither of who appear to want to divulge the information or that informations appears to unreliable or biased....

    Yeah but if you look at Nick Leeson and something like Kane and Abel both movies about wealth and in one real life events.

    I loved kane an abel the book (well done Jeffery, one for Weston super Mare) but the film was rubbish I thought.

    Nick Leeson a boring story really but an okish film.

    So get a few decent stars and a bit of spin and with a movie called sex.com reckon they have a winner.

    I wouldnt go and see it at the cinema, but I would watch it on DVD

    Thats the point though

    It could be the most boring movie in the World BUT..............

    Movie

    No promotion or very little

    Sex.com
    In movie cinemas this summer

    Sex.com on posters at cinemas and bang if they dont know about it then people who pass by will be taken in.

    As you say even your son giggles at the title, people look if your reading it on the train.

    If the foolish dont know, then the foolish will flock
