Negative Positive
Title: Don't bother.
Review: I expected more from this book. The title is misleading, for one. What the contributors offer is a lot of opinonage about games for girls, etc. When they start getting to the meat of the matter, commenting on female characters in games made for males, they drop the ball, and offer wishy-washy "answers" to potentially interesting queries. I knew this book was gonna suck (offical Art Historian's terminology) when I searched the index for Lara Croft references and, upon finding a few, realized that they spelled "Croft" with an "s" EVERY TIME. Do these people even know the games/characters they're talking about? I guess it's up to art historians to pick this topic up, dust it off, and talk about it with respect. This book will make an excellent doorstop.
