CRASH! BANG!
It's not very often that I read a book review that actually makes me decide to read a book I had already decided not to read.
This one did.
When I heard about Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her I thought, "Oh no, not another fawning Baby Boomer writing about how Nancy made her what she is today." But this excellent review by Sandra Tsing Loh made me change my mind: if someone who writes this well liked the book, how can I go wrong? She had me at the phrase "tap-tap-tapping for swag." (You'll just have to go read the review to find the context for that.)
