Bridget Christie's voice shines through in this comedic introduction to feminism.

The writing style was easy to follow, it felt like having a conversation with a friend. I didn't learn anything new but enjoyed an insight into Christie's perspective and comedic process.

Very similar to her stand up, and I found that she repeated herself a few times (re-telling the same anecdote with almost the same wording), but still entertaining.

I found this book very frustrating. On one hand Christie is evidently very passionate about feminism and spoke eloquently and with fervour about the key issues facing women today. She is also master of the irony and sarcasm. On the other hand, I felt like she veered wildly between humour and sincerity, which I felt detracted from the points she was trying to make. It was also very disorganised and repetitive at times. This book is confused- is it a humorous memoir or feminist polemic? In this case, I feel like it can't be both.

I like how I never listen to audiobooks, and the one I chose contains extensive shaming of me for doing so.

No, really, that was a part I liked. The parts I didn't like were other parts.
