Carved in Stone

Ridiculous assumptions jumped to by both characters. Then we spend an inordinate amount of time rattling around in both their minds about an incidence of nudity. How old are we? 12.

Guns, shooting, and bad guys to throw the spitting cats together. 

Kiss-->No, mistake, let's not discuss EVER again-->Kiss...blah...blah

I categorize this book under: Doing No Favors For Feminism

Woman declares herself equal if not superior to male, declines courtesy as an insult to capability, bullets enter the picture an little woman stays behind, then stupid woman demands action against superior numbers and arms, and let's just ignore the legal liability that the Professor has just exposed his university to by the change in plans. Alex's default argument the entire book thus far is "If I were a man...". No, your idea just sucks and is the bad idea fairy at work. But, if you'll take orders from Professor we'll do it.  O_o  Seriously?

I like feminism. I appreciate all the hard work past generations of women have done to promote the cause--this book tries to talk the talk, but doesn't walk the walk.

DNF at 32%.
