Negative Positive
Title: Very enjoyable
Review: This book started at a very slow pace giving a lot of background and setting the stage for the second half. I almost gave up wondering if it was actually leading anywhere. Then Diamant drops the bomb and book rips into gear. She creates an idyllic world for her main character's upbringing. Raised by her "mothers", the women's lives are largely segregated from the men's. The men have different lives and different values, competitive and violent. The women, in contrast, nurture and share, and you can see the importance of feminine values and the consequences of ignoring these values. In everything there must be balance and this book reminded me how dangerous an unbalanced world can be.
Is the review positive or negative?
