Title: reads like a blog...
Product review: I tried to like this book, I really did, especially since I'm also a SAHM in Germany, but it just didn't happen. Why? I'm not really sure. It might have something to do with Ms. Hohlbaum's writing style. Like I said, it's bloglike, as if her thoughts were constantly being interrupted by her two small children. There are, indeed, lots of mom blogs on the internet (which one can read for far less money than the price of this book)and hers is certainly not the funniest. I was also hoping that the book would deliver on its title and provide amusing anecdotes about what it's like to be a SAHM in Europe, but she mostly failed me there as well. I believe with all my heart that mothers of small children should be supported in their pursuit to nurture themselves, entertain their muses and maintain their professional acumen. The end result, however, should be something other than boring, unfunny prose.
