Sex in the City: The Prostitution Racket in Ireland by Paul Reynolds (Published October 2003)This book's author is a Dublin crime journalist. It is a book that aims to tell the story of organised prostitution in the Republic of Ireland in 2003. It follows the lives and activities of various pimps of recent years. Then there is a little about prostitutes, punters and other issues thrown in here and there. It was launched by the Justice Minister in the Garda Social Club, but we think we'd need to drink about as much as we expect all those men drunk that night to think very much of this book! If you missed all media coverage of prostitution in the Republic of Ireland between around 1998 and 2003, but really wish you hadn't, then you should certainly buy this book as Paul clearly didn't and was keeping notes, but don't buy it expecting it to give you any real insight into organised prostitution in the Republic of Ireland. We don't mean to knock this book too hard. We suppose it was an effort to tell a story that is better than no book telling anything of that story, but it missed the mark enough for us that we're left wondering whether it is the case that Paul doesn't really know the business or whether it is the case that this book was never about telling the real story for Paul.
