Title: Surprised it was a bestseller...
Review: I'm surprised this book was a bestseller. The premise of the book is very interesting but I agree with other reviewers that the author is self-absorbed, immature and seriously lacking self esteem. I can't believe how selfish and self-centered this woman is!! She gives the stereotype, that women are neurotic, validity. It's a good thing she doesn't want children because she definitely shouldn't have any. As a conservative new mom, I found her views on motherhood and politics semi-offensive and irritating. That being said, I thought SOME of the book was well written and humorous. I found a lot of her spiritual "exploration" to be irritating but it did make me think about my own spirituality. And I did enjoy the historical and cultural information she included, written with a nice twist. If you are trying to pass a rainy day, it's not the worst book to read. There were parts of the book that were difficult to get through but overall it's a pretty "easy read".
Is the review positive or negative?
