A review by vg2
The Battle of the Sexes in Science Fiction by Justine Larbalestier

2.0

Whilst there was a lot of interesting content in this book, the structure and style made it a real struggle to get through. This is partially due to mis-representation - had I realised that this was a published thesis, in (what I imagine to be) its original format, my expectations would have been very different. Instead, the continuous referencing of every source destroyed the flow, chapters opened and concluded in that very particular, box-ticking university style (which I am not criticising - it is merely the formulaic approach that academia demands from students) and I wondered why it had not been adapted/edited for a wider audience.
