The book was interesting, but the information contained within was not a complete surprise. Yes, I as a childless woman, subsidize everyone elses kids. But the book gets kind of repetitive and I didn't even finish it. If this book is a new concept for you, try searching for "childfree" on google and you'll run into some great communities to chat about the lifestyle.

This book was such a great laugh. My husband and I snuggled and read it together. His mother, however, was not amused when she spied this book on our shelf. Make sure you hide this book if you have grandbaby-rabid parents or in-laws.

Typical of Larson's writing, this is yet another excellent example of deep research and a compelling narrative style. I recommend this book to anyone with a fascination of turn-of-the-century historical writings.

This was a fantastic read. Krakhauer is a phenomenal author. His tale is a vivid journey into the mind of a young man who thought he was invincible. As we know, even Icarus fell after his lofty achievement.

This is probably the best first-person narrative I've ever read. What a wonderful, inspirational story.

This book is essential for the working journalist who is interested in entering the narrative nonfiction style of writing. It has helped me tremendously with my writing. I also suggest Writing for Story by Jon Franklin.

Great futuristic sci-fi book. Great to read before 2008, not spoiling this any more than that.
