She said in her column last week she'd review it and here it is:

Wow - that doesn't pull any punches!

Absolutely blistering review!

Thanks. I'm not sure I've seen her writing on issues specifically related to feminism before.

Absolutely brilliant especially the last line - 'And crucially her key question burns as brightly as it has for a hundred years: why should women, forever the oppressed sex, prioritise every cause above their own?'

If you want to reach the heights of absurdity, heres a great quote from the book:

In some cases there’s nothing left to do but laugh. The American feminist Mary Kate Fain was reprimanded by a non-binary member of an animal rights group for mentioning the abuse of female dairy cows. Her accuser found it personally “hurtful” — “you’re not allowed to say dairy comes from female cows or eggs come from female chickens because we don’t know their gender identity

I probably wont agree with everything in this book but I`ve got the library to order it in as its sure to be a punchy read. Bindel wont be shy of marching into battle on the gender ideology front thats for sure.
