![]() ![]() i was annoyed by pretty much every single character in this book, but i think that's because of the bad writing.ĥ. i'm not saying that she never writes well - this is only the second book of hers that i've read ( rubyfruit jungle is the other) so i'm not prepared to say that, but i have not seen evidence to the contrary so far.Ĥ. it's all forced and just really badly written. she writes like an adolescent who is a good writer would write. maybe all of the discussion around the main points is so unsatisfying is because she is a pretty bad writer. i am always saying, though, that everyone gets to label themselves, so this is hypocritical and petty of me.ģ. and for whatever reason, it bothered me that throughout the book she called herself gay and lesbian, but also kept talking about how she still liked men also (there's even a sex scene with her and an overuse of the word cock). she's coming from the right place, but her discussion of all of this stuff (except for maybe the 'be true to yourself' one) is really sub-par. and the idea of the story for this book is a good one, too.Ģ. also about religion and its use and value, what it's meant to be. she tries to make the reader think about oppression (specifically racism, homophobia, heterosexism, and here and there sexism). i believe that she is trying to make us realize how important it is to be yourself and not to live for other people and their impressions of you. I have very mixed feelings about this book.ġ. ![]()
