A review by siobhan28
King Kong Theory by Virginie Despentes
challenging
reflective
medium-paced
I don’t tend to give non-fiction books star ratings but I did find this book extremely thought provoking and would recommend for people to read it to have their ideas challenged. This is a book I really want to read again, especially the chapters on rape because Despentes put forth ideas that I’ve never really seen to be discussed in this way. The writing style is very direct and forthright, some paragraphs remind me of Valerie Solanas especially in the way that gender is discussed.
