disappointed
I was disappointed in this book. The title is promising, however, the content is sophomoric - a rather juvenile style of writing. This is basically a woman's journal entries, chronicling her personal growth through her reading experiences. Her reading material is dated; there are many newer and finer sources for personal growth opportunties. Her frequent comments of, "you might not be interested in this but, . . . " are tedious. Her frequent pauses to listen to a tape and then writing, "I'm back . . . " are irritating. I don't know how the editor let her get away with her repetitious non-information. Wait, yes, I do. The reason this book was published is the gimmick of a ninety-year-old woman writing her memoirs. Given all that, if you need a reading list for personal growth and enjoy the ramblings of a woman who is constantly working on personal growth, then this book may be for you.
