atxerin 's review for:
This was a tough one for me (obviously, as it took me three months to finish it). I love the persona of Amanda Palmer online because she is this badass, in-your-face, enlightened force who spews love and art to everyone who will listen to her or even just look her way. But I struggled between loving this book and not having it grab my attention. Yes, she is just starting to get into published writing, but it wasn't bad by any means. You can feel her timidness at times and her fierceness at other points.
I think my biggest struggle with this was the inconsistency - the inconsistency of her writing, the inconsistency of where she was taking us, and the inconsistency of how I felt when I was reading it. Most of the time, I want to read a book as quickly as possible - either because I love it and can't get enough or because it's so-so/is terrible and I want to get it over with. I almost had to force myself to finish this because after 3/4 of the way through. Not for lack of time, but because I didn't know how much more of it I could read. But once I got started back into it, I flew through it and finished it in one night and enjoyed what I read.
I will say that I think she is incredibly stimulating and she made me think about a lot of what she wrote about. I recommended it to quite a few people to read because I did enjoy it. But I didn't love it. There were parts that I absolutely loved, but parts that I wished she had skipped over or shortened because a lot of it was repetitive or felt like it was out of place.
I'd give it 3.5/5 stars and a big recommendation to people like me who find it hard to ask for help.
