I read the book. I'll do a review of Thursday, I hope. I must admit, that video was pretty close to how I felt about the book. I am letting my kids read it but the price they pay is to listen to me lecture them for a half hour on why the book is bad, bad, bad. heh heh teachable moments.

They can't say the books aren't influencing girls, though, right? There are several angles open to dispute.
