A Book of no Importance
|
Let's just say that in the week between reading this book and writing this review, I've forgotten whether I even liked it or not.
I haven't dog-eared any pages to re-read, and didn't put it in the `worth sharing: pass it on to a friend' pile, but I don't remember hating it either so I can only assume it was mediocre... not a good thing in my book. I gather from the blurb it's about learning to deal with the fact that you'll never be a perfect mother, but if that's the point it's trying to illustrate, I think you'd be much better off with `Confessions of a Slacker Mom' or 'Alison's Diary: The Nappy Years', which are both funny and considerably more memorable

disappointing
|
I really wanted to like this book. Indeed, the first few chapters had me laughing out loud! It showed such promise. Unfortunately it peaked in the first few pages and the rest of the book was very disappointing!
I also found the authors writing style quite irritating; a bit prissy and I wish that she would refrain from referring to her daughter as "my girl".

A true tell-all about the highs and lows of parenting.
|
The beauty about this book is that you don't have to be a parent or even an aspiring parent to read it.
It is a true and honest account of one womans journey through parenthood and at times really opens your eyes to the facts.
If you're a parent you can share Konopicky's thoughts and feelings with a knowing nod, laugh, wink or even disagree with her without wanting to force your own opinions.
And if its just insight into what life with kids will be like, this book helps prepare you for the smooth and bumpy (sometimes very bumpy) rides you must be willing to take, without putting you off children for life!
If you like a chuckle, then buy this book, it's fab!

A dangerous book - it will make you laugh out loud even in the most inappropriate places - while offering a witty and wise take on the problematic path of parenthood.
