teegee 's review for:
The Secret History of Wonder Woman
by Jill Lepore
Wild backstory.
I think I've figured out my relationship with Jill Lepore books. The side of me that's looking for rich detail and depth is pretty tiny compared to the side of me that just wants a great story arc. So, when her books are the story of some ~thing~ (Wonder Woman, the US, Simulmatics Corporation), I'm looking for a newly discovered and engrossing story. I don't need to know that the original author's cousin's ex-husbands happened to share names with an obscure Wonder Woman villain. So, I think she's just too thorough of a researcher for me :D
