This book flipped nearly all of my switches as a reader. It's a
strange, melancholy, morally complex, grainy, often appalling and
sometimes bleakly funny book...You will often feel shabby while
reading The Voyeur's Motel. You are meant to. It's an intense book
that reminds us that a problem of being alive is seeing things you
hate but are attracted to anyway. It's possible to admire it while
wanting to pluck out your own prying eyes.

uncomfortable story built from layers of complicity...makes
creepily fascinating reading.

it is by turns fascinating and illuminating, very creepy and very
funny, and will live in my memory long after many more doggedly
accurate works have vanished into thin air.

Talese's... prose is distinctive for its precision, its silkiness,
its attention to important details that lesser journalists
routinely overlooked.

whose work most influenced at least two generations of other

drastically transformed American sexuality has emerged during the
past decades.
