Strap on your seatbelt because with Womens & LemonsTM you are in for the ride of your life! (less)My Review:
This book is an optimistic book. It talks to you. It is meant for the Quintastic woman. Telling you how even after crossing a particular age, you can still be who you want to be.
The book intends to bring in hope to your life. To help you embrace the real you, and to facilitate in a journey of self-exploration. Because, you know, age is just a number. You cannot be confined by the stereotypes. et cetera.
Well, here's the thing: the book scores so well in its intention that the execution is thoroughly unsatisfying in the way it has been presented.
But, even so, the book serves as the perfect coffee-table companion.
Let me enumerate the good parts for you:
1) The interviews: The author has taken a few interviews of real women. Now, that doesn't seem like a feat, but those interviews do a great deal for the matter of the book.
2) The graphics: These ae what make it better as a coffee table book, rather than a non-fiction read.
However, the nerdy injections in the form of explanations for using the gramatically wrong word 'womens' and the derivation of Quintastic were a major turn-off.
