A review by lberestecki
The Geek Feminist Revolution by Kameron Hurley

2.0

This book just didn't work for me. Some of the essays were interesting, but overall I didn't enjoy the collections. There was a lot of repetition, so I wonder if the author could've done a more successful collection if she had written more new essays or waiting a few years until she had more published essays to choose from. Going along with this, there was a lot of name-dropping of her other books. I don't begrudge anybody some self-promotion, but it felt like I was being hit over the head with it here. I also personally found her writing persona to be a bit pretentious and have somewhat of a "my opinion is right and if you disagree you're wrong" attitude.

I'm sure this collection will resonate with some people, but I personally didn't enjoy it.

Received from NetGalley in exchange for review.
