Title: Tell me a story, I love it, but don't overanalyze!
Review: I think that this book deserves high credit being an original, as far as I know, in it's genre. I love the fact that the author was able to gather so many stories and myths from diverse cultures. The analysis was also thought provoking. But I think that I read this book too late. At 37 years old, a university graduate, married career etcetra I find her book a bit of a downer at times. The emphasis on how to get out from under the thumb of an abusive/domineering man, boss, parent, "friend", is a bit depressing. I think it's great for those who have been down-trodden to listen to Oprah and Rosanne and Sally Jessy Raphael and Hillary Clinton for that matter to learn truths about destructive interpersonnal relationships. But, although I applaud Ms. Pinkola's originality and thouroughness, it's not for me.What do you think?
Is the review positive or negative?
