I listened to this pretty quickly. Liked some parts much more than others. Some of the writing got a little drag-y, and I noticed I zoned out in some parts because of it. I don't think I would've liked it if I physically read it instead of listening to it.

Super informative and really engaging, I definitely learned a lot from this book. I think sometimes it definitely took a while to get to some of the main ideas of some of the essays, but overall they were still really interesting and enjoyable for me to read about.

The first 4 essays were brilliant and I understood and found their content engaging and intriguing. I got lost in the essay about ecstasy and religion and never fully recovered from there (though the final essay on marriage was interesting). I tend to read books as a whole, but perhaps this is better digested as a series of one-offs, and if I'd chosen the essays based on my mood and interest in the subject matter I might have enjoyed them all as much as the first 4!

I found many of the essays insightful and interesting. The author challenged some of my approaches to feminist critique in a way that I found valuable. 
There were some essays that I found weaker than the rest, but I guess that’s often just the nature of a collection.
