Sexist Advice

Revisado: 08-06-22

This author has a lot of useful and interesting information on abusers. He clearly doesn't understand that there are a significant number of female abusers out there. In fact he tries to say that if there were women who were abusing men, we would see greater numbers of men reporting it. My understanding is that 1 in 7 colors to a national domestic violence hotline are men.

It's a shame this author makes such a point of dismissing the fact that men are abused by women, even if It is only a fraction of the number of the other way around. The way he puts it, is demeaning.

Even with these issues, there is useful information in this book.

Great dry humor: great reading

What did you love best about The Family Fang?

This is a really funny and ridiculous book, esp. if you know your contemporary/performance art. Characters are really well described and plot keeps you interested.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Buster Fang, because he's so hapless. He's the absurd underdog you just can't resist.

What does Therese Plummer bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?

Dry reading is perfect for these jokes, but the reading is also just right. I especially liked how she read the part of Camilla Fang, who had some truly enigmatic responses.

Who was the most memorable character of The Family Fang and why?

All good.

Any additional comments?

If you like Sedaris, you might like this novel. It's not essays, but humor works in some of the same ways.

more thoughtful and less violent than some of his

What did you love best about Headhunters?

Descriptions of the main character were fascinating. Nesbo shows his skill for creating an interesting predicament for characters. I love a psychological thriller, but don't always need so much time spent on the gratuitous violence, especially if it isn't well-written. This is one of my favorites of his so far.

Magician's assistant

This book is amazing. I am a big fan of Ann Patchett, and this another one of her both funny and haunting stories, one of my favorites so far. Ziemba does a lovely job of reading this story. My only complaint is that the music is COMPLETELY wrong for the story! Very jarring and off-putting. Still, a great book.
