“After all, the only way to be certain of one's model is to expose it to cold, hard reality to see whether it sinks or swims.” - Chapter 4
There were a couple of graphs that I didn't quite understand how to interpret, and in some sense it was quite overwhelming how much data was covered by this book. For the most part though, a lot of it (with some exceptions) was written in an accessible language for someone new to reading research like this.
A lot of data in this book can be used for discussions. As of the month that I finished reading, quite a few pages are cited as a reference on the Wikipedia article for "Furry fandom".
I really liked this book, as I learned some information that I wasn't expecting about the fandom. I'm kind of curious to see what else was written in 'A Summary of Five Years of Research...'. Additionally, I hope more books like this are written about the furry fandom.
