Negative Positive
Title: Low values
Review: I don't understand the main idea behind this book. Is it to promote women's chess or is it to promote feminism and trashy values? Yes, there're some history of women's chess in this book. However, it also contains a lot of Ms. Shahade's personal feminist views. It would be naive to believe that the rest of America would agree with Ms. Shahade. It would be naive to believe that most of the female chess players in the 70's and 80's are lesbians as claimed by Ms. Shahade. This is the sort of outrageous opinion that makes this book somewhat like the Jerry Springer show with a touch of Howard Stern. I will never read anything else by Ms. Shahade again. I don't appreciate her style and poor values.
Is the review positive or negative?
