Negative Positive
Title: Condescending, alarmist, and narrow-minded
Review: I am afraid the best thing about this book was the title. I actually bought this book, and wish I had read some of the reviews first. The people who call this a "bible" really should consider an alternate "religion". This is an unbelievably patronizing, misinformed, and alarmist book about a wonderful time in a woman's life. After I read the first couple of chapters, I had to repeat to myself "Pregnancy is not a disease" over and over for weeks! And what moron thought of those diet guidelines? What do the authors do for a living that makes them suggest bringing a flask of wheat germ to business luncheons! Get a reality check! The book is so focused on every conceivable crisis that it actually had me worried that I did not have morning sickness instead of enjoying my luck!Don't bother with this. There are better uses for both your time and your money!
Is the review positive or negative?
