Some of the ways that Sheffield commented on women (or about women) left a lot to be desired for me. There were many instances where he reduced women to all being the same, liking all of the same thing, regarded certain likes or interests as particularly "feminine," and had a joke about carnally loving his iPod because it wouldn't whine about its hair being messed up from sex. It's certainly not the worst book I've read in terms of misogyny, but it is certainly in there and I'd have personally appreciated a warning before reading it. Then I'd have been prepared for how much eyerolling I did.
