funny informative reflective medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

2.5

Could have been 4 stars, bus alas
- 0.5 for allround misogyny, the objectification and sexualization of every woman in the book, including teenage girls
- 0.5 because I want a lobotomy after reading the sex scenes including
one between the fifthy-something author and a sexually abused teenage girl

- 0.5 for repeating the same point ad nauseam and paraphrasing Wikipedia pages
