I really wanted to like this book. After all, with a subtitle like: "How Fangirls, Bookworms, Indie Chicks, and other Misfits are Taking Over the World"...how could I not?
It's no secret I'm a geek and proud of it: Geeky employment and educational history? Check. Glasses? Check. Obscure record collection? Definitely. More bookshelves than appropriate wall space? Wouldn't have it any other way.
This book didn't excite or inspire me, it just made me tired. Tired that we live in a culture where women who have chosen to think for themselves have now been offered a book where we get....GUY ADVICE? Seriously!? Depending on the kind of "geek" you are (Fashion Geek or Film Geek, but never both!) you get advice on the kind of guy that would best compliment your "geekiness." Yes, seriously. I may as well have been reading an article in Cosmo.
I therefore refuse to waste anymore type on this schlock so here is my uber-concise summary: Bleh.
