Title: A Joke
Review: This book has a couple of uses.One, as a piece of humor. It's so quaint and poorly thought-out, it can't be taken seriously. I've spent hours with friends reading passages and rolling on the floor with laughter. A great gag gift for birthdays, wedding showers, etc.!Two, as an anthropological artifact. The customs and beliefs described herein are fascinating. Intelligent and educated people in 1999 put about as much credence in these ideas as they do in the idea that the earth is flat, but it's interesting to consider that there are those out there who think this way. And it does lead to important questions, like why is the author is so full of self-loathing and why is she is intent on squashing the talents and ambitions of other women.Third, those who have heard that the Mormon church is antifeminist and misogynist will find ample support in this book (the author is Mormon).Aside from these, the book is worthless. As a serious work of self-help or sociology, it merits zero stars.
Is the review positive or negative?
