velarislibrarian's review against another edition

This is marketed all wrong. It’s meant to be laugh out loud funny- I got about 40% through and couldn’t go on. I don’t have an issue with the content as such but I don’t think it was remotely funny? There was a graphic rape scene, a homophobia related suicide and the main character was called a c*** within the first few chapters. It was actually rather dark and not nearly as light hearted as expected. 

The main character wasn’t likeable- she didn’t feel fitting. She is a scientist in the 60’s but rants like a 2023 hardcore feminist, which is grating.
I don’t have a problem reading about it… if that’s what I am expecting? I felt like I was hoodwinked with this book. It’s not at all what it says on the tin. Really disappointed and a bit annoyed.

Sometimes I wanted to throw the book as the sexism of the not so distant past was beyond hard to read. In reality I couldn’t put the book down. All the major characters were delightful, and I love Elizabeth!
