fabulitas 's review for:

The Geek Feminist Revolution by Kameron Hurley
3.0

Didn't live up to the hype. While I appreciate the author's zeal (of course I do) and honesty, I kept wondering if some of these essays weren't better suited for a blogging platform than a book (ofc the Internet is where many of them started). Kind of repetitive, many topics are begging for more in-depth analysis & time and time again I found myself thinking 'oh, I've read a better piece on this' (like with Diana Wynne Jones' essay about heroes being male by default & how to write a girl hero).

Big plus of this book - it will probably fuel a lot of discussions.
