Negative Positive
Title: You must read it, but...
Review: Since I continuously found references to this book on writings in many articles I read on the matters of child abuse, sex orientation, child care, family, etc., I thought I had to read it myself. Well, as an exercise of intellectual discipline –meaning that you must expose yourself directly to the issues “opinion makers”, good or bad- you the must read it, if those subjects are of your professional or personal interest. But, beware, the book is not a good one and author doesn’t really know much what she is talking about. Maybe all the mayhem around this book is because, by the time it was published, some of its statements seemed bold and even daring politically incorrect. But now that social values have been turned upside down, it is boringly PC. And, of course, the lack of any useful or never mind enlightening knowledge remains.
Is the review positive or negative?
