CGiii Comment

11 years on from her powerful debut...Despentes delivers a long-awaited, major disappointment.

Devoid of grit, wit and substance...nothing gels, it all seems so staged.

The one-dimensional depiction of 'punk' is laboured and irritating. It looks like it will be another 11 years before Despentes produces again - here's hoping she will put a little soul into her next project...because, this has none.
