A review by mickified
Her Body, Our Laws: On the Front Lines of the Abortion War, from El Salvador to Oklahoma by Michelle Oberman

2.0

Let me start this review by saying the subject matter, and the interviews conducted by the author, are riveting. However, the book itself is not written in a way that does these topics justice. For her effort - and the fact that technically there's no rules on the books that says that writing needs a clear thesis statement, that things presented as fact shouldn't be skewed by the author's opinions of the topics or of how difficult the subject was to interview, and that chapters shouldn't be written with a series of "Point Z, but before we get there, it's really crucial to understand Point Y" - I'm giving this 2 stars instead of one. I applaud her hard work and diving into such sensitive subject matter, but I wish the execution was up to par.
