Proof positive you can be smart, angry, political, practical and a great read. Funny too.

Her comedy stylings are not for me. There's also a noticeable void of anti-pseudoscience condemnation in the Goop chapter. But even when she introduces her searing dissections of global political misdirection via the prism of sappingly irrelevant subcelebrities, Lindy West is still a cultural force.
I didn’t finish it - got about halfway through. At the moment, I’m not able to appreciate it. I’m out of cope, and need a lot more funny with the (realist) doom.
I laughed out loud so much reading this book. But also, marveled at how much truth was in it. Too bad the people who need to hear the truth won’t read the book.
