Review: Girl

Girl by David Thomas

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


It was quite a while since I read this, but it definitely left an impression even if it wasn't a great read. It's mainly the storyline where a man (Bradley) goes into hospital to have his wisdom tooths removed and wakes up to find that he has undergone a sex-change operation by mistake. I won't say that it can't happen, but it's not really believable.

The book is well written, with a tongue-in-cheek approach to how a womanizing bachelor has to accept that he's now woman. It has a lot of funny segments, which provide an insight into the everyday lift of women, from a man's perspective, but also the inescapable part of how it is to be haunted by the press.

It's not a classic novel, but a fun and somewhat thought provoking read.
