Ok. So the title of the book is the "C" word. I know, I have a hard time typing it let alone uttering the word between my lips. Inga Muscio wants me to use the word on a regular basis. I guess I'm still a girly girl. I prefer to use the word vagina. I appreciate Inga for who she is, a tough broad who probably very often stands alone in her strong convictions. What I have extracted from this small little collection of rants and anecdotes about the vicissitudes of feminine life is the idea that ladies have got to start supporting ladies and refrain from being catty bitches who tear each other down over silly things, which only continue to cause limitations in our success as women. Inga does a superb job of breaking down the silliness that is the acrimony of women. I think the 19 year old me would have greatly appreciated this book and learned a few things. It's been awhile since I was 19. She has helped me to rediscover my "voice" as a writer and performer.
It was okay but a little boring. It was slow reading because I couldn't read too much of it at once.

Not as good as his others. First of all this one its set in Don Mills, not East Africa and the characters were not very well developed (likely becuase it is so short)...overall a disapointment.

I read this book immediately after finishing rereading "Mrs. Dalloway" over Thanksgiving on the beach. I'm a sucker. I really enjoyed it.

Very interesting memoir of this comedian's relationship with a young pregnant girl who needs help. She ends up being a middle aged woman with multiple personality disorder and Rosie continues their mostly long distant (Phone, then e-mail) relationship regardless of the truth. Most interesting.

*** Synopsis taken from the author’s website: Does falling in love mean falling out of faith? “Lacey Anne Byer is a perennial good girl and lifelong member of the House of Enlightenment, the Evangelical church in her small town. With her driver's license in hand and the chance to try out for a lead role in Hell House, her church's annual haunted house of sin, Lacey's junior year is looking promising. But when a cute new stranger comes to town, something begins to stir inside her. Ty Davis doesn't know the sweet, shy Lacey Anne Byer everyone else does. With Ty, Lacey could reinvent herself. As her feelings for Ty make Lacey test her boundaries, events surrounding Hell House make her question her religion." Let me preface this review by stating that this is NOT the type of book I would normally pick up. And had I really known what I was getting into I am not sure I would have checked it out from the library. But I don’t regret this read. It was equal parts fascinating and upsetting. It was so upsetting (for me, anyhow) that I texted my fellow Bibliojunkies at 1:30 in the morning to vent my frustration. Hopefully I didn’t wake either of them up with text alerts screaming from their phones. So, why did I pick up this book? Because of the following quote from a review found in Book Page – “For the first time in her life, Lacey is forced to stop and think about her faith, her friendships and what she wants for her future”. Due to my strict religious upbringing and how it affected me, I could completely identify with this statement and thought I might really relate to Lacey, the main character in this book. Thankfully, the person I am now couldn’t relate to her or her way of life but I saw my teenage-self more than a few times in this story. Extreme religious sentiments in this book abound. Anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-premarital sex…the list could go on. And let’s not forget to mention the Hell House in which all these sentiments are delivered. (If you didn’t know already, Hell Houses do exist. Look it up. You will be horrifically fascinated.) Also, scriptures are often quoted by characters in this book (Lacey in particular) to both argue for and against certain religious beliefs. Melissa Walker does not try to send a pro or anti religion message. However, she does stay so true to her setting and characters’ evangelical upbringing that this book can be very difficult to read if you can’t look past the extremes and see the message she is trying to make clear to her readers. I don’t agree with the path Lacey takes in the end. It’s not the route I would have taken. Nor is it the path I did take in life. But that isn’t the point of this book. The point that Melissa Walker so eloquently makes is that it is okay to question our faith and make our own decisions based on what we learn in life. If you think you can handle reading about the extreme ideals of the far Christian right, then I would recommend this books as it is an interesting read. ~Nat

I read this book years ago and just reread it for a book club I joined. I decided to try the annotated version this time around and I am really glad that I did. The historical references and explanations of common usages for different words were extremely beneficial. In fact, I plan on reading and rereading other classic novel with annotations in the future.
