Title: Leaves much to be desired
Product review: Poorly written and superficial, this book does not deliver on the praise advertised on its cover. Interesting nuggets of information abound, but appear haphazard and disconnected from any structured argument. Trite commentaries are partnered with sobering topics which weakens the book's credibility, such as this quote about a historical account of family tensions in the peasantry: "There was wife abuse and there was `a wicked wife who will not be corrected; her husband flees from her in fear of her tongue.' Many times growing up in Manitoba [Canada] I noticed shriveled-up, bitter women like that - and they had a lot to be bitter about." Please.
