Rachel Rosenthal
Putting this book in front of a fan out in the middle of the desert heat could not make this book any drier. This had to have been one of the most boring books I have ever written. So boring I couldn't even make myself finish it. It wasn't just every page or paragraph that made me tired, it was every word. There was no life to any of the writing in this book.
Of course I understand that it's non-fiction, I didn't go into this book expecting some sort of romantic, action-filled romp. I didn't even expect that much drama despite dealing with a combination of theater and feminism. But I did expect something... and I got nothing.
The entire book reads like a high school students report, though the content and language reads more at university level. There are so many source notes throughout the book that there is near fifty extra pages added to the book to actually cite the sources. The fact that it became saturated with psychology and began to get really wordy also didn't help keep it from feeling like a report.
There were a few interesting tidbits scattered throughout but for the life of me I really can't recall them. I'm really disappointed at how dry and uninteresting this book was because the actual subject matter deals with two things I'm really interested in, theater and women's rights. Yet as fascinating as those things are when dealt with in a dull fashion... I couldn't bear it.
Really, there's nothing much else to say. Don't say I gave up, though, because I did get through more than half the book and when I found it wasn't improving (getting worse actually) I just couldn't stand it. I've got loads of other and better books that I want to start on. If anyone can reccommend some decent books dealing with this subject (theatre and feminism) that are actually good, please let me know, I still want to read them. Thanks!
