I read part of it, and I was mostly struck by how much it sounded like it started out life as a dissertation – bland writing, amateurish organization of the material. She probably got her PhD because everyone was getting so depressed about how boring sex was starting to seem.

I just find these trials to be fascinating, so I felt completely let down when she would start talking about them – “well-publicized and highly-charged trial of X for the publication of Y”, things like that – and then not go anywhere with it. I always suspected she knew more than she was telling.

It sounds very frustrating to read.
