"The War Blog" by Glen Sobey @glensobeyauthor
The book contents are as thriller as its title and cover. This young adult novel is written on very different and contradictory topic. Plot Crystal Rose, a 17-year-old high school junior, and her younger brother were abandoned by their drug-addicted mother fifteen years ago in an Alaskan Native village, an event which Crystal resented for years. However, when she learns that her mother was raped in high school, Crystal declares war against a society which reduces girls to their looks, forcing them to feel worthless without the approval of guys. While living in a small Alaskan town, she starts The War Blog website, along with her best friend and crush Kato—a brilliant Native boy—attacking everything promoting female objectification and offering ways to fight back, all supplemented by her original songs. Crystal rises from nothing in the wilds of Alaska to become a champion for change, risking her life against men who would force her to keep silent. She faces her parents’ abusive past and fights for a better world.
. A male author wrote a book with feminist point of view and tried to protest against the rape culture. The emotions of women are very fragile and it is not easy to write about them. It is very blunt effort to highlight the issues of women. Now a days "me too" is a burning issue and this book is a little contribution from Sobey in this war against the male dominant society. . The author tries to explain the painful war of a women they are fighting to protect themselves against rape culture. One more beautiful thing is that author added eight beautiful songs which are available in audio form. . This book is dealing with the theme women's suffering and emotions, their fighting for their survival not only in the Alaska but all over the world. . I would give it 5 stars because it highlights a unique and difficult issue . . Recommended to every lover of feminism.
