I had not heard about the controversy surrounding this book but when I picked it up, it looked interesting. I am not a sorority member--and actually never understood the entire concept. I did not find the book to be unbiased, even though I mostly agreed when the author started letting her's poke through. I did not find the book to be interesting, either. It was a chore to keep the characters straight because I did not find them interesting or engaging. Overall, I found it boring to read. Yes, I admit I was looking for a sensational slam against sority life. The author did make some important points about women and self-esteem but she could have accomplished that in a two page essay. I am happy to pass this on to someone who might get more out of it.
