misscharlied 's review for:

Iceberg by Clive Cussler
3.0

dang, dirk pitt was such a misogynistic prick. or I should say that Clive Cussler was (or is. I know the newer books aren't as bad, but...).

I mean seriously, they're are 2 female characters in this book: a simpering secretary gold digger madly in love with the main character, and a hot babe who ends up being the transgender bad guy. and dirk pretends to be gay, but words used instead are: fairy, faggot, queer, etc... Because a homosexual male couldn't possibly be a threat!? A few times it was hard to continue reading, but the suspense is good and you have to take into account the publication date (right? I don't know. It was difficult. I am an outspoken liberal feminist. It does not jive.)

PS. seriously irritated that autocorrect wouldn't let me type faggot or queer in this review. Those are real words! they can be used in a shit way, but are real nonetheless.
