review 1: I started this book with a bad case of researcher's bias- I wanted to love it. The author sounds like a very smart, very witty person but this book really isn't either. I'm a big fan of America! A History from Jon Stewart, and I'd hoped this would be the science counterpart to that. Rather than a satirical science text book mocking the stereotypical tropes of women and girls being bad at science and all the ways that stereotype is wrong, its page after page of non-science and non-humor. Also, I'm still trying to figure out what rape jokes have to do with science. Seriously, there were a lot of rape jokes.
review 2: Somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. I definitely laughed out loud reading Megan Amram's debut, but it was often due to her audacity not cleverness. T... morehere were some great satirical elements and it was a fun read. I wish it had been edited down a bit to keep the jokes tighter. Pages of Kale items is not funny after the first few. Overall, I'd recommend as a light read but nowhere near as funny as other female writers today. less
