		<description><![CDATA[I like grey and gritty stories, and this is an excellent one. Lauri describes the life of an exotic dancer, with honesty, no self-pity, and with a strange detachment which I recognize from having had acquaintances who were sex workers. 
It explores with eyes wide open the fine line between pole/lap dancing and prostitution in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What first drew me into Servicing the Pole was the quick, succinct voice of the character.&#160; It is written in first person present tense&#8212;something that usually bothers me&#8212;but I scarcely noticed it when I began to read.&#160;

Servicing the Pole isn&#8217;t a happy story&#8212;in fact, most of the time I found myself uncomfortable reading it, faced [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am currently reading Shaw&#8217;s &#34;Servicing The Pole&#34;, and I want to start by saying that I think it is to her credit that she wants to maintain her independence as an author and remain true to her vision for the dimensions of her main characters.
