let me be honest--i have never been a big fan of bell hooks and this book is no exception. appreciating the summarizations on the matter of love but some of her thoughts are outdated, make me roll my eyes, or have limited elaboration (and, therefore, could have been cut). it's a nice book but i start skimming when she gets too personal. i've read her memoir so ? keep it in the memoir...

bell hooks' politics are vastly different than what i've been led to believe. can't believe some of her thoughts on women and how she has come to conceptualize abuse/victimization. just holy moly, would not have loved to talk to her should i have shared a class with her.

gonna have to read a section a day now that i finished half of the book. her life experience, as someone that i don't aspire to be and cannot relate to in many ways, taints the text. i also am curious as to why she renames the same sources over and over. the simplicity of hooks' writing hallmarks her writing; however, when talking about simple matters, it comes off as tiring. this book could have been reduced.
