Title: Laura talks better than she writes
Review: The best parts of this book are the the transcripts from the radio show. Why? Because when Dr. Schlessinger is behind the mike, she's focussed, clear, chatty, and intriguing. But her writing hits the page with a thud. There's simply no life in it.Her topic is an interesting one, but this book does not succeed in making its point. I would be hard-put to find a reader who enjoyed the book who didn't already listen her show AND was a rabid fan. I'm not discussing whether or not I agree with her position, but how she communicated it.I suspect that she's trying to write a book that has already been written, and she fails in comparison. Spend your money on M. Scott Peck's _People of the Lie_ instead, and listen to the Dr. Laura radio show for the same information. There really isn't anything in the book that she hasn't covered in the show.I read her first book as well and was also disappointed in how poorly the writing compares to her on-air style.
Is the review positive or negative?
