It’s the closest thing to the definitive guide to riot grrrl in my opinion. The end made me sad :( But it’s an incredible book. I know what you mean. The last 3 chapters made me so depressed. I could feel the sadness emanating from those who started the movement and the loss of what it meant to them :( Ok, that’s it. I have not heard anything less than awesomeness about this book. I’m getting it tomorrow. Either from B&N which says it’s in stock or I’m ordering it off of Amazon. (I tried Border’s last week and they didn’t have it).
