Kind of dry reading. Not one I'd hang onto and read again. The writer could have done much more with the material to make it more interesting (just my opinion).

I liked this book, however the whole book was different vignettes of different stories. It was pretty well written but each story was about a page and a half or two pages. I thought that each story could have been fleshed out some, but then that is only my opinion. A book worth reading anyway.

This was interesting. Easy to get into at first, then it kinda dragged and was hard to keep interested in.

This was a really interesting read. Not at all what I expected. Much more personal and empowering.
