Overall - worth reading, despite its flaws

Revisado: 09-02-24

The first half of this book was intriguing, unique, and captivating. By the second half, I felt that the character development had not progressed, the main characters were unlikeable, and the plot’s tragedy felt forced. The ending felt incomplete. While I had quite a few issues with the plot and characters, I felt that there were still worthwhile and redeeming messages about friendship, love, growing of age, growing up, and getting older. The real tragedy of this book was demonstrated in the realistic heartbreak of how best friends can grow apart.

If I have to listen to the phrase “divided my consciousness” one more time….

Revisado: 11-11-23

The first 2/3 of this book was pretty captivating and intriguing, but the last third fell totally flat and became predictable, stereotypical, and monotonous. It felt like a derivative sci-fi, where the tedious use of numbers and measurements meant to sound intelligent begin to bore you. The ending felt rushed and cheesy. Overall, I thought it would be better and it was a disappointment.

A must read for every woman considering the pill…

Revisado: 04-14-23

Mike Gaskins has done some great research on the deeper topics relating to risks, history, and side effects of the pill. In this book, you will learn about the history that pharma industries intentionally hid/covered up, and risks you were never warned about. Disturbing, but in an insightful need-to-know way.

Surprisingly good book

Lionel Dahmer is a surprisingly good writer and he did a good job telling Jeff’s story.

Self-indulgent narcissistic dribble

Revisado: 08-23-22

If you want a memoir of a self-indulgent American millennial who has very little capacity for empathy for her dying brother and can think about very little besides her own skin, sexual adventures, and vanity - this is it. The book’s attempt to show spiritual enlightenment towards the end was meager and lacking. In the typical image-obsessed style from my degenerate generation, the only redeeming quality of this book is Laura’s honesty of her own personality defects.

Not sure how I feel about this version

Revisado: 04-19-22

Not sure how I feel about this retelling of this story in the book of Genesis, where Dinah was in love with Shechem, instead of raped by him. It was alright but not superb.

Fantastic, especially for people with chronic illness / disability

Revisado: 02-11-22

If you have a chronic illness / disability or care about someone who does, this book is a must read! The amount of toxic positivity our community faces on a DAILY basis from (usually well-meaning people) is enough to drive anyone insane with feelings of frustration, invalidation, isolation. This book won’t cure your illness / disability, BUT, it will validate your experience and make you feel more sane.

Incredibly well done.

Revisado: 06-05-18

I did not expect to agree with Duesbergs argument but he made a very strong case and many of the factors he cited I have seen repeat in many other areas of medicine, research and politics.
