The Feminist by Tony Tulathimutte (2024): A Review

Image
Title : The Feminist (Rejections) Author : Tony Tulathimutte Publication Year : 2024 Pages : — Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genre : Satire? Source : Audiobook @everand_us Warning : A little bit confused After reading “The Ice People,” reading “The Feminist” felt like I was in a bizarre dรฉjร  vu where the same male character was having a mental monologue—only this time, me with more eye rolls. Tony Tulathimutte seems to wield satire like a lightsaber, and I couldn’t help but feel he’s actually criticizing our protagonist (he is, isn’t he?): a self-proclaimed male feminist who seems to think that advocating for women automatically earns him VIP access to their hearts.

Whittle’s “Seven Reasons to Murder Your Dinner Guests” takes you to a mysterious dinner party with seven guests—where, you guessed it, things get deadly! I had a good time listening to this one and finished it in just two days. Occasionally, the shifting perspectives made it a bit tricky to follow, but overall, it kept me entertained. So, why three stars? I’m a big fan of crime and thriller books—give me Sherlock, Miss Marple, Jack Reacher, or anyone from that world and I’m happy! This book definitely taps into those classic vibes, and it even gives a nod to Agatha Christie’s “Then There Were None.” Our main character is just as obsessed with detective fiction as I am, which made th...
