I'm sorry to say but I wasn't at all impressed by this. 
 Feminist poetry and fairytale retellings are totally my thing, so I should have liked this. But out of the fifty poems, I think I really enjoyed only two. 
 My low rating here stems from what I think is a lack of originality in the poems. The ideas felt regurgitated and cliche. The author talks about how women are portrayed in the media and how women are taught to view themselves, incorporating eating disorders and self-harm into the mix. I feel like it was great of her to do that and I consider it very brave to write about such things. Yet, they just weren't working for me. I feel like this would appeal to a much younger audience as an easy-to-swallow presentment of these topics. 
 The poems themselves felt amateur and weak, which was a major disappointment since the subjects have so much weight to them and could have resulted in really powerful poems. If you liked this, then that's great, I'm glad a cynical message of women in the media has been received well. If this didn't hit the mark for you or you felt this was too watered down, I would totally recommend any of Angela Carter's writing, specifically "The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories."
