I'll admit it: I would finish reading chapters of this book and be left incredibly confused more often than I would like to admit. Mind you, I found some chapters interesting - there were even some I identified with as a woman - and I can definitely see what Anne wanted to achieve with this "manual." But I think it will take a couple of reads for me to fully grasp this story. 

It was a really cool experience getting to read a book in a very nontraditional writing style, and I think that if that's something you are looking for, you should definitely check this one out.
