The Secret Loves of Geek Girls by Hope NicholsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
“Love” here refers to the romantic type, so the short essays and sequential art here center around pop culture’s influence on geek girls’ human relationships rather than their passions for pop culture itself. I was impressed by the consistent quality of the entries. Anthologies are almost inevitably mixed bags, with at least some excellent contributions and at least some pieces submitted by talentless friends of the editor. But everyone here does a solid job of storytelling. Most of the tales are entertaining and informative. And even the less engaging ones were more matters of my personal, subjective disinterest in their topics rather than an objective problem with communication quality. This is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in the subject, and even more disinterested readers will find lots to like.
