Well-written but so hard to listen to the nonstop ugliness again.

The woman reading the audiobook mispronounces dozens of words: ashphalt (asphalt), momento (memento), ananymous (anonymous) just to name a few. She often has odd phrasing, and weird inappropriate enthusiasm. The story itself is good, well researched, if occasionally repetitive. I'll read more by Kim Cross.

reader mispronounced patella and Tagalog

Listening to the audiobook

Audiobook: The reader mispronounced Betty Friedan's name; misnamed the Ray Charles hit, "What'd I Say" (he says What I'd Say); he uses a weird high voice for women and various men that's unpleasant and jarring. The book is pretty good, I don't recommend the audiobook. There's also an excellent documentary available.

I'm listening to it, October 2025; the reader's constant breathy astonishment style of reading irritates me.

DNF it’s interesting but soooo loooong
