Shrill Book Reviews
Shrill by Lindy West Book Summary
Shrill is an uproarious memoir, a feminist rallying cry in a world that thinks gender politics are tedious and that women, especially feminists, can't be funny.
Coming of age in a culture that demands women be as small, quiet, and compliant as possible -- like a porcelain dove that will also have sex with you -- writer and humoristLindy West quickly discovered that she was anything but.
From a painfully shy childhood in which she tried, unsuccessfully, to hide her big body and even bigger opinions; to her public war with stand-up comedians over rape jokes; to her struggle to convince herself, and then the world, that fat people have value; to her accidental activism and never-ending battle royale with Internet trolls, Lindy narrates her life with a blend of humor and pathos that manages to make a trip to the abortion clinic funny and wring tears out of a story about diarrhea.
With inimitable good humor, vulnerability, and boundless charm, Lindy boldly shares how to survive in a world where not all stories are created equal and not all bodies are treated with equal respect, and how to weather hatred, loneliness, harassment, and loss, and walk away laughing. Shrill provocatively dissects what it means to become self-aware the hard way, to go from wanting to be silent and invisible to earning a living defending the silenced in all caps.

Yay!. Loved this and I think you’re amazing. As a person and a writer! Also, what was Seattle like before ‘Singles’? I’ll be reading your other books. Yay!
Yawn. Yawn
Outstanding. The most well written, thoughtful, and thought provoking book I've ever read. Lindy is able to articulate so much of what I think and feel on a daily basis. I'm so grateful a soul like hers exists in the body of such an excellent writer.
Boring. Blah blah blah

Hilarious and insightful. I found this book by happenstance, and I am so happy I did. It's hilarious and insightful. How people can be so horrendous to others is beyond me, but I can honestly say she handled all her obstacles the way I would have. Lindy West is smart and funny and I would be honoured to meet her one day. I highly recommend this book to everyone and anyone! But, definitely to those who share similar views.
Shrill. Brilliant! Lindy West gives me hope that my teenage daughters have a chance of living in world that treats women with respect and acceptance.
