About this ebook
When Caitlin Moran sat down to choose her favorite pieces for her new book, she realized that they all shared a common theme—the same old problems and the same old ass-hats. Then she thought of the word “Moranifesto,” and she knew what she had to do. . . .
This is Caitlin’s engaging and amusing rally-ing call for our times. Combining the best of her recent columns with new writing exclusive to this book, she deals with topics as pressing and diverse as the beauty of musicals, affordable housing, Daft Punk, and why the Internet is like a drunken toddler.
While never afraid to address the big issues of the day—such as Benedict Cumberbatch and hangovers—Caitlin also makes a passionate effort to understand our twenty-first-century society and presents us with her “Moranifesto” for making the world a better place.
The polite revolution starts here! Please.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Caitlin Moran is an English journalist, broadcaster and award-winning author. Moranifesto contains a collection of the columns she has written over the past few years. She tackles a diverse range of topics from TV reviews and pieces about London to feminism and a heavy dose of politics. Unfortunately, some of the pieces were dated. For example, reading about the Olympics in the UK or the Queen's Jubilee would have had more of an effect several years ago. I enjoyed her more universal and her personal articles, such as her posthumous letter to her daughter, her relationship experience and her thoughts about reading. Some of it was very touching as well as funny. As somebody who doesn't really understand the Benedict Cumberbatch obsession, I was surprised how much I enjoyed Mrs. Moran's interview with him. Overall, it was an interesting book and due to the short articles, it was nice to read bits in-between when there wasn't much time for anything else. For me personally, there was too much emphasis on feminism and politics, and some of the issues became repetitive (being able to wear comfortable shoes in the way men can or growing up on a council estate). I received an invitation from the publisher to read this and would probably not have picked this up myself. But readers who enjoy these topics will find a plethora of stuff to enjoy here because Caitlin Moran undoubtedly is witty, her style is very readable as long as you don't mind the occasional strong language, and her thoughts are insightful.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5And my love affair with Caitlyn Moran continues.
Short essays on so many things that confuse and puzzle us, always with a wash of Moran wit and her clear and funny take on the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune as a woman these days.
So highly recommended.
