There are many parts of this book that I enjoyed and even laughed through and then there were very few parts that I had to suffer through. While I mostly enjoyed Elizabeth's character I found her incredibly dense for someone that was a genius. Despite that I really enjoyed reading about a woman, even if she is fictional, challenging the status quo of the 1950s. One of my favorite things about this book definitely has to be the dog.
