Title: Modestly interesting and even less useful
Product review: Having just turned 25 and needing some advice on what the hell to do about it, I picked up this cleverly-titled paperback. Long before the end, though, I realized Quarterlife Crisis coasts by more on its inherently interesting subject matter than anything the authors have to say about it. Throughout all 198 pages it has this anecdotal, unstructured, almost gossipy feel. A recurring theme is for the authors to make a point (usually an obvious one), then spend the next 20 pages circumventing the subject instead of expanding or analyzing, much less providing a solution. There are pockets of insight here and there, but most of the comfort of reading this book ended where it started: knowing my concerns affected others.Consider this a book written for ditzes, by ditzes. Anyone with brains or ambitions in life would need a stronger dose of logic and insight to be satisfied.
