  <default-description>Most &lt;b&gt;Dungeons &amp; Dragons&lt;/b&gt; game players are men, yet storytelling and roleplaying come so naturally to women. So where are all the female gamers? The answer is - everywhere!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Confessions of a Part-time Sorceress&lt;/i&gt; is a smart, humorous examination of the &lt;b&gt;Dungeons &amp; Dragons&lt;/b&gt; roleplaying game from a female gamer's point of view. The book delves into the myths and realities of gamer stereotypes. It explains how to build a character for a &lt;b&gt;D&amp;D&lt;/b&gt; game, how to shop for gear, how to play, and how to find the perfect gaming group, all the while exploring the things that make the &lt;b&gt;D&amp;D&lt;/b&gt; game a rewarding and recurring social experience for both men and women.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this book. Yes, she does type-cast women as shoe-loving shopaholics, but I think she does this on purpose. It makes the point that ANYONE can play D&amp;D. All you need is a little imagination, some dice, and a basic understanding of the rules.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Very fun and light-hearted approach of a women quizzically drawn into the realm of role-playing.  Excellent perspective on assuming a role to solve problems and be a hero once in a while.  GREAT RECIPES!  A fun read, should be given to gamers better halves!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is surprising and witty.  It is a quick and fun read, that may help you make sense of the appeal of D&amp;D to your gamer boyfriend, hubby or brother.  You may even find yourself curious about playing along!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[So, the information on how D&amp;D works was good and relatively interesting, but man, was the presentation shallow and vapid.<br/><br/>Did you know that all women love shopping, name brand shoes and handbags, and celebrity gossip?  I sure do now!  The excessive amount of pink didn't bother me as much...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46426684">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was an entertaining look at one of my favorite hobbies, Dungeons and Dragons, from an admittedly &quot;girly girl&quot; perspective. Not being much of a &quot;girl&quot; in a lot of ways (I have to admit to having no idea what Jimmy Choo shoes are) there was some humor that I really didn't rela...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8487926">more...</a>]]></body>
