Reclaiming the wisdom our grandparents all knew

Revisado: 08-25-24

Impressively well researched and comprehensive. Worth sharing to help educate and un-indoctrinate anyone you know who has been lied to about what marriage is and why it’s the foundation of any society and culture.

Good journalism, narration wasn’t bad but was too formal- made it easy to zone out occasionally.

Journalism mixed with personal narrative

Revisado: 09-12-20

The Chibok kidnappings were given less coverage than they deserved in the U.S., and this book helps fill in some of the gaps from the past. Equally important, the book continues to raise awareness of Islamic extremism and the real and continued threat of terrorism, regardless of whether or not people have tired of hearing about it (particularly in the west where neither are daily threats to our livelihood or comfort).

Ms. Sesay tells the story of these young women well, however a significant portion of the book is used to tell her own story and give her own views and opinions. Though she certainly has a right to do so, journalism’s aim is always to be a neutral observer, presenting the facts and first hand accounts of those involved. The book’s frequent use of the first person and personal narrative detract from the stories of the young women who endured such immense trials and hardship.

Towards the later half of the book, I found myself skipping through large chunks to get back to the story of the girls. It is not that Ms. Sesay’s personal stories are not worthy of being told or not interesting; it’s because I purchased this book to hear the girls’ stories, not those of the journalists relaying them. I would’ve preferred she further explore why some girls like Priscilla and Leah had the strength and willingness to bravely risk martyrdom while others, at different times, could no longer endure the threats of their oppressors and acquiesced.

Excellent content, ok organization

Sound nutrition science and advice, but could be more succinct and linear. Not a perfect comparison, but “Deep Nutrition” is to nutrition as “Born to Run” is to footwear - lots of fascinating story, narration, and antidote along with the science, but will require you to do your own research and experimentation (i.e. it’s a good gateway book into a lifetime of nutrition study & practice).
