Title: Unfortunately, this book with great potential ends up being "skippable"
Product review: While at first glance one would think that this book is a fun pop-culture book destined to one day be a must-read, but ummmm, after a couple chapters where things don't pick up, you realize that this is just a good concept poorly executed by a man who still, even his "certain age", has not come to terms with his gender. I'm not talking about his "orientation" --that is something he seems to be well comfortable with, I am just saying this man is too envious of the women he writes about. It is almost depressing the way this envy is displayed in an otherwise charming book. He always has and always will want to be a wacky woman. And so he wrote a book about a hand full of women who have lead note-worthy and interesting lives. There is good material and research in Doonan's project,and it would make a HOOT of a film! But the book. . . let's say, with a tad bit of regret, is skippable.
