Review: Feels like a mini-documentary!

With a background in journalism, Mara Altman's account of her (and others) hair removal flies by pretty quickly.  Her Kindle Single, BEARDED LADY feels like a mini-documentary: one of the Morgan Spurlock variety.  Altman begins with story with her own introspection and history concerning excess body hair before she turns her focus on the world-at-large.  Composed of both a personal account and interviews with other people, BEARDED LADY covers a ton of ground.  It's largely funny, but there are a few times when the narrative slows in the interviews.  The single is short though, but at $1.99, this feels like a good deal.While there is some vulgar language (just a warning, if you're offended by it), Altman's personal account is hilarious and honest.  As someone who is not bearded, nor a lady, I found BEARDED LADY to be a pretty satisfying read.  I would recommend it to many of my female friends who I've heard complaining publicly about shaving their legs.  :)
