I was able to control myself until it came to a panel where she finds a calender of a naked woman and says and I quote- 'I felt as if I had been stripped naked, inexplicable ashamed, like Adam and Eve' So I discarded what I wrote, only to say this to the author:
Fuck You! Let it go, it is 2006 already[the year the book was published] feminism is kinda old news you know.
Here is what I had written:
To be honest; I haven't finished it yet. But I felt like writing about it. So I did.
Anyway, I am halfway through the book. I haven't found anything funny, nor anything sad.
The author herself likes to use heavy, almost opaque prose, in a bid to appear well read- which she is, but there is an arrogance to her writing that makes you not care. Because all the while I am thinking- 'she is well read, but who cares?!'
At one point of time, she uses the word 'prestidigitation' which means...I hope you are ready for this... Sleight of hand. Why ? I do not know.
My rating for the book: I'd say on a scale o

hehe, i bet you knew what prestidigiblahdiblah meant! admit it! don't be shy, go on!
I, for all practical and metaphorical purposes truly had absolutely no freaking idea what that, almost never seen, word which reeks of needless and gratuitous arrogance, means, and not to mention the fact that such words are called 50cent words alluding to the cheapness that one feels when he or she realizes that the word could have been replaced by a more common one without loss in meaning. Logorrhoea ? me thinks so too ;)
