Negative Positive
Title: Too clinical. Not enough emotional content.
Review: I bought this book because it is one of the best selling pregnancy books in the nation. Unfortunately I didn't read a sample passage before purchasing. I was sorely disappointed with the content and writing style (and later my RN and other pregnant women told me they had made the same mistake and disliked the book too). This book gives a long list of potential symptoms a pregnant woman can feel during each month of pregnancy. It does not address the emotional aspect of pregnancy (just some bullet points on what you may be feeling). We have since read other books that we enjoyed much more. My husband is enjoying "Mack Daddy: Mastering Fatherhood Without Losing Your Style, Your Cool, or Your Mind" by Larry Bleidner. While I'm enjoying "A Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy by Vicki Iovine." And together we are reading "The Baby Book" by William and Martha Sears -- a book that focuses on parenthood (i.e. what to do after the baby comes).
Is the review positive or negative?
