Negative Positive
Title: Offensively bad
Review: This book makes me ashamed to be female. It is a perfect example of character-as-accumulated trauma. Like, the part where Astrid gets attacked by dogs? Come ON. Someone send Oprah a copy of the Crying of Lot 49 already. That has a tortured female heroine too; maybe she'll dig it. Know that I would never have read this book unless forced.
