Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilariously satirical and refreshingly iconoclastic!
Review: Hilarious! Sara Strohmeyer has taken satire to a new level. By subverting the fictious doll into something unthinkable (a REAL woman) we understand the dialectical struggle between the dolls already accepted image as a sexist and mysoginst doll and what would happen if she thought about and dealt with real issues. Strohmeyer's parodies are intelligent and insightful as we should question the garbage that mainstream media i.e. "Cosmopollution Magazine" throws up in the face of consumeritis.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Like Barbie, but need a laugh, then you have to read this!
Review: So your child has Dr. Barbie, Dentist Barbie, Anthropologist Barbie and Equestrian Barbie, but does she have PMS Barbie, and Junkie Barbie? Collecting her is great, but sometimes that perfect plastic body can get annoying and you dream about her being "one of us". Well, the author has put your imagination to words and pictures for everyone to enjoy! She keeps you laughing and saying "Now that's one doll I have to get!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely hilarious
Review: Whether you enjoyed Barbies as a child or not, Strohmeyer's text will have you laughing out loud in a room full of strangers. A combination of feminism, politics, and plastic toys may sound odd, but Strohmeyer pulls it together in a very entertaining fashion (no pun intended).
