Review # 1 was written on 2020-03-28 00:00:00 Jose A. Raynal V. I love books and love to recommend good ones for others to enjoy, so this is a first for me: I intend to conduct a ritual book burning session with this one! I recognise all the hateful things that certain men do to women, and they do need to be brought to general attention, and particularly men's attention, in the hope that consciences will be pricked and bad habits/attitudes changed. But this is not the book to do it, because it is more likely to be counter productive. That is because the entire thing so clearly comes from an "I hate men" stance that it is more likely to simply generate a 'hate women' reaction from men, who are portrayed as the entire problem with the planet and only women's scheming can preserve them from the tyranny. According to the author, men are to be despised and cheated, as that is the only way to deal with them. There is no room for honesty in the relationship, no room for living with them as equals, as it is a battleground and the fight is to the death. I do not know whether this comes across in the author's other works or even if this is her real feeling towards men, but it comes across very strongly in every page of this book and I only stuck the relentless anger out in order to see where the book would end up. Sadly, it ought to be in a fire, as I wouldn't want to see anybody else exposed to this perverted bias.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-12-31 00:00:00 Joyce Harkey Some interesting and, by now, well known, theories on mother-daughter, sister-sister relationships. But cases and narrative could have been more compelling.
