February book - How To Be a Woman by Caitlin Moran So last Wednesday we held our February meeting where we discussed the book "How To Be a Woman" by Caitlin Moran.
I think it would be safe to say that the club had trouble connecting to this book. When asked if anybody liked the book, I don't think anybody raised their hand. A few people even said that they gave up reading it after the first few chapters.
It's not that this book didn't have good points. Many of the topics Moran talks about led to some very interesting conversations (especially the chapters about deciding to have children), but most of those conversations were not really centered about what she specifically wrote. Overall, we felt that Moran's book really wasn't the guidebook to be a woman in general, but more of a guidebook to be a woman like her.
I wish I had a more eloquent review for the site, but there's really not that much to say. Most of us gave the book a one or a two stars on Goodreads. Hopefully we will have more to say on next month's book.
