Any Man

Product Information

This book puts you into the mind of the survivors. How they will have to live with this for the rest of their lives and how by using each other as a support group, you can eventually, hopefully, more forward. I went through a roller coaster of emotions as I read this. It hit me HARD and left quite the imprint. If you do choose to read this book, I cannot recommend the audiobook highly enough. This is arguably the most well produce audiobook I've ever listened to. It's immersive, which you could argue is what makes the reading experience even more visceral; and that is, again, quite disturbing. Yamato, Jen (September 17, 2013).

I can't talk about the feminist mystique or empowerment or use any of the buzz words. I can't even really talk about what I think Amber Tamblyn was trying to accomplish with this book.

It’s ironic that this character would then go on to be raped and have feminists rally around him, even though he's spent years demonizing them.
