I've never DNF'ed a book so fast! I thought this was going to be a fun, informative nonfiction book about the history of Barbie. Boy was I wrong! Instead, I'm treated fictional liberties of a novel where the creator, Ruth Handler, is a foul, mouthed drunken sailor trying to peddle "hooker dolls" to children. WTF? Even if the real Ruth was this way, it besmirches the mystique of the iconic toy. Nope, not for me!
