hard work...and I don't mean being a trolley dolly

I struggled to finish listening to a series of fairly uninteresting tales of global travels and (some what dull) sexual encounters. The use of sizzling in the title is false advertising.

Although the 9/11 chapter was the best one of all.

The narrator did the best she could with awful material.

Nothing it was foul

Made up vulgar nonsense. Had to give up at chapter 3. I wonder when someone will delve deeper into the cesspit that appears to be Virgin Atlantic back then? Unsavoury eek.

Not a good read

I thought this book was about air hostess life. Not a sex romp. I think it lowers Virgins image and is doing no good at all to Richard B. I am sure he would be ashamed how his employees are behaving. There are a few good accounts of flying adventures but the rest is just getting drunk and having very detailed sex. As another review said a disgusting book.

Disappointed

I thought this would be interesting, however the authors obsession with sex and describing in lurid detail wanes a bit, I know the image Virgin has as a brand but this does not promote the brand in a positive manner. There were sections that were good but would have preferred some more focus on the actual job and places visited.

Not what I was hoping for

Not a biography or memoir unfortunately. Juvenile telling of a story with too much inconsequential dialogue.

Basic

Started well with orb the reason did getting the job but quickly turned into the sexual conquests and too much of the graphic details. More flying stories not the jolly she had whilst in the countries mire a teenage diary than a job description book

Shameful

If this truly is the way that Virgin cabin crew behave it is disgraceful and they should be ashamed of themselves. The tales of drunken debauchery are a little hard to believe. Methinks that the stories have been heavily embellished to make the book more exciting to read, I doubt that it is true in real life.
I know a few cabin crew working for various airlines and the shopping trips are very true.
True cabin crew would never call themselves "dollies" since they consider it a derogatory term. We already knew that Richard Branson personally vets his dollies before employing them, which in itself is disgusting behaviour.
I had to listen to this book in small bites to get through it.
I wouldn't recommend it, it will make you feel sick to your stomach, particularly if you fly a lot.

A book of things that never happened

I got his book out of interest to see what would be said. I can categorically say this book is quite literally a book of things that never happened. Don’t bother buying!
