Coming Unstrung: Women, Men, Narrative, and Principles of Pleasure- Susan Winnet

1.  Focuses on the idea that books should parallel that of a sexual experience

2.  Works on deconstructing the idea of biased in the sense that a female prespective is so different from a male perspective.

3.  No point of view is better than the other, male or female, they each provide a very peculiar way.  One story told by a male and one by a women can be so different with the emphasis on what each finds the most important

4.  How good a book is, is greatly dependent on how involved the reader is in the novel

5.  The way males and females present their climax, or story plot is very different because they choose to focus on other things, each prioritizing certain details
