I found this book too frustratingly self-congratulatory to gain any insight from it. As I read the author's accounts, it seemed he was more interested in portraying himself skillfully penetrating these girls' psyches like a master swordsman, leaving these poor waifs astonished and broken by his superior knowledge of them. I also bought "Bright Red Scream" by Marilee Strong, which I found much more objective and covered a much bigger picture on the topic than this book. A lot was applicable and insightful, a lot made sense and explained a lot. Some of it was very indirectly relevant and perhaps superfluous, but interesting nevertheless.
