Negative Positive
Title: tough to read and tougher to enjoy
Review: very dated indeed-although militantly feminist at times she is also surprisingly racist with comments such as all chinese look alike..seemingly written in a matter of fact way. (this was written 35 years ago and does not stand up well)have a dictionary handy unless you are up on every eleven-dollar word in the language; i am fairly well-read but found myself slowing down to try to figure out what the hell a word meant in order to grasp a sentence...a much more entertaining and extremely knowledgeable writer on this topic is jeanine basinger...her books on women in film and the star machine are excellent and fun to read...this book is a chore to read, but all i have at the moment, or i probably would not finish it...
