I noticed "The Johns" in the bookstore today.
I remember reading "The Natashas" and feeling very troubled by it. There are some terrible stories in the book and it is difficult to learn about those abuses.
The one problem I have with Malarek is that he seems to be convinced that everyone in the sex trade is the victim of sex slavery (my opinion comes from a TV interview I saw him give when he was promoting The Natashas). That is why he is so opposed to legalization, even though you might argue that legalization would make it easier to report the bad players.
Malarek raises an important issue. But I worry his role as an advocate is tainting his perspective as a journalist.
