Today, we are running a review by Elaine S, a regular commenter at AAR. She’d contacted me and suggested we consider reader reviews which, historically, we have published but in recent years haven’t had any. To say I was thrilled with her suggestion would be an understatement.
We all know that the 5 generations—Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Baby Boomers and the Silent Generations—have some pretty big differences. Although some of these may be rooted in unfair stereotypes, there’s no doubt they have different life experiences and expectations for everything from marriage to employment to entertainment.
It’s time to discuss our first book club choice, Jennifer Crusie’s Manhunting. Here’s our DIK review from 1999 and here’s a readers’ guide from Crusie. This is the first novel Crusie wrote–have you read others? How do you think this one holds up?

I’ve spent the past two weeks holed up in a rather dingy airbnb with my spouse. (I was exposed to the virus almost three weeks ago and decided to take myself out of circulation.) I’ve been reading, watching TV, and listening to music far more than I normally do. (I’m too old for video games!)
What is AAR? It’s not a business–we don’t make any money and no one gets paid. It truly is a labor of love for all of us. (I do give the staff gift certificates at the end of the year to say thanks for all their hard work. The rest of the money we earn…
