Review of 'Animal' on 'GoodReads'

4 stars

Pascoe takes her stand-up comedy delivery and translates it seamlessly into a book that is part autobiography and part exploration of the role of women (and women's bodies) in western society. Informative and very funny at times. Some sections are written more cumbersomely, and occasionally rely on spurious research, but her thought process and humour improve these sections, and the last chapter on rape is an excellent summary for the book.
