An unusual collection by the author of The Mare, this includes music, movie and book reviews. A mixed bag, at least for me (I don't really 'get' music reviews and never read them...), but there were several standouts:
- "The Trouble with Following the Rules: on "Date Rape," "Victim Culture," and Personal Responsibility" - quietly thought provoking and discomfiting
- "And It Would Not Be Wonderful to Meet a Megalosaurus: on Bleak House by Charles Dickens" - cuz, ya know, Bleak House by Charles Dickens
- "She's Supposed to Make You Sick: a Review of Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn" - an astute review, and she feels the same way I do about Gone Girl
