Customer Review #1:
 Does this woman know any Greek?
I have located several misquotations and several mispellings of what little Greek she uses. Apart from it being gruesomely written, I suspect this woman does not know Antigone in Greek--she quotes widely from other sources but prefers to stay away from the original. I am tempted to at a later date say with Voltaire "I am sitting in the smallest room of the house. I have your book in front of me--soon it will be behind me"

Customer Review #2:
 Butler (Miss Butler if ur nasty) is at is again...
Judging from the reader reviews on this website, Judith Butler has yet again succeeded in provoking the outrage of several diehard and blue-in-the-face classics scholars. Those classicists who feel outraged by her work might consider her illuliminating comments on Hölderlins own translation of Antigone, translations that themselves were received as scandals in their time and that continue, like Antigone in Butlers view, to provoke critical thought. If you think Antigone belongs on the shelves of a dusty library, you might as well leave this book alone, since here shes haunting queer bars and dining at the most interesting and vital family meals imaginable, where queer sons and daughters struggle together with their just as queer parents to figure out how it is that we might say our word to a world that persists in ignoring what it is that we have to say.

Customer Review #3:
Very interesting book
Some of the previous reviewers responses to this book might give an idea of whats so interesting and provocative about it, and about Butlers work overall. Even if youre not a classicist with too much time on your hands.
