Lucy Ellmann

Heartbreaking. What an experience.

I found this a bit patchy and repetitive. I can't remember great detail now, but sometimes it really got going into an enjoyable rant, but other times was a bit more of a slog.

No idea how to rate this! The fact that Ellmann's so often so spot on just reinforces the depressing nature of what humanity's done (and continues to do) to itself, and humor and determination can only go so far in bringing you back from the resulting dumps.

Oh my god, really? I'm 100 pages in and I want to shoot myself in head to put me out of my misery. What the hell am I reading? Shortlisted? Yikes.
