But buy a used copy off ebay or check it out of the library.
LPP, I said the exact same thing on my sorority's listserv...that this book is neither fish nor fowl. She could have either written an in-depth research piece on sororities of all kinds, or she could have written a fun, trashy novel and I don't think I would have been as offended. The problem is when she takes 4 women whose reality is questionable (i.e. I doubt they are 4 real people), tells their stories and then follows it up by spouting statistics that supposedly "confirm" them.
I mean - when she wrote the Skull & Bones book, she didn't have Skip, Chip, Wally and Bunny detailing their experiences in it.
Oh and blueangel - I loved Roger & Me but after that things just went downhill. After all the praise he got for R&M he just got too wrapped up in I! Am! Michael! Moore! And! My! Opinion! Matters! If he's speaking on a filmmaking point of view, bring him on - on a political point of view, that's another story.
