La battaglia dei sessi in chiave fantascientifica, con gli Stati Uniti d'America che sono, al momento dell'invasione aliena, governati dalle donne, nei modi in cui interpreta un potere femminile un ego maschile cresciuto in Texas. E non a caso dallo stato del Texas vengono gli uomini che sconfiggeranno l'invasione, riportando il maschio al potere e le donne dietro ai fornelli.
Guarda caso dal Texas viene anche George W. Bush...
Il librino si legge in modo scorrevole, ma oltre che sessista รจ show more piuttosto banale. show less
The town of Superior Ohio one day simply lifts up off the earth and dries to about 10,000 feet and then higher. The book follows a couple residents of the odd town, whose major industries are a bubble gum factory and an odd "school." Mildly entertaining, I think it was meant to be a gentle satire, but it didn't work to me. It was a short, easy read.
Never read this one. Bottom inch or so of spine has pulled away.
