I came for discussions of Lady Kluck. I stayed for discussions of internet bullying.

I’ve long been a fan of Lindy West’s irreverent and sharply funny style. I loved reading her film reviews when she was still with The Stranger (my favorite review is of Sex and the City 2, which I absolutely refused to go see) and Jezebel (hello, scathing indictment of Love, Actually, which is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad movie). I was excited to see her book released this year, and her passage on Lady Kluck in the first chapter made me cackle as I perused it in the bookstore. I think my expectations were really high. Sadly, I think this is mislabeled as a comedy book, as it deals with a lot of heavy and serious topics. Find out why it earned 3.5 stars in my full review.
