prendergast's review against another edition
Need to find a physical copy rather than an audiobook, for this one.

"Pixar-volts", so much Haraway and Foucault, not compelling for me

tildahlia's review against another edition
3.0
I really wanted to like this book. The main concept is that ‘failure’ as defined by a heteronormative perspective is often where joy, creativity and liberty lies. Which is a good starting point forthe notion of celebrating queerness and diversity. However, this book seemingly tries to straddle a line between academic/accessible writing (which I accept are not always mutually exclusive) but I feel it maybe didn’t quite hit either. Which is probably my roundabout way of saying I found it pretty hard to follow a lot of the time, although it did have moments of brilliance that were engaging. I’m not sure the audiobook format is good for this one, I found the narrator distracting and I think it would have been more digestible if read.
