it's very short

It's very short, certainly not a full book. Half of it is explaining the test.

Historia
Bestselling author, speaker, and world-traveling success coach Jen Sincero cuts through the din of the self-help genre with her own verbal meat cleaver in You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life. In this refreshingly blunt how-to guide, Sincero serves up 27 bite-sized chapters full of hilariously inspiring stories, life-changing insights, easy exercises, and the occasional swear word.

Another cliche self-help
Revisado: 01-19-24
Cringey and superficial, this cliche of a self-help book is full of buzzwords and "real people speak". This book got in early on the trend of writing self-help books with curse words in them, but other than that, there is nothing new here. The author comes off as privileged and wealthy, and thus, her advice doesn't translate to regular people.

Historia
Ansel Packer is scheduled to die in twelve hours. He knows what he’s done, and now awaits execution, the same chilling fate he forced on those girls, years ago. But Ansel doesn’t want to die; he wants to be celebrated, understood. Through a kaleidoscope of women—a mother, a sister, a homicide detective—we learn the story of Ansel’s life.

Not exactly a crime thriller or mystery...
Revisado: 10-02-23
I was hoping for a thriller/mystery fiction about a serial killer, as well as the depiction of the lives within his crime. I expected explanations of emotions and the complexity of the human mind. This book went over the top with the latter to the detriment of the former. Midway through, I realized this is a book about the female experience - motherhood, the pains of being a woman, etc. I read plenty of fiction from female authors, but this one fetishized their gender to the point of exhaustion. it's been done a million times already, and better. Repetitive descriptions of baby breath and skin. Every interaction having deep emotional implications and effects. Frankly, it became boring and predictable, and I'll read about any genre if it is well written. Add in lame metaphors, anachronisms, length medicine prose, and it became too burdened to finish it. Worth mentioning as well that every woman is painted as a tragic Goddess, while literally every man is a heavy-footed, "gruff", overgrown fratboy or barely restrained sociopathic caveman.

Historia
Area X has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The first expedition returned with reports of a pristine, Edenic landscape; all the members of the second expedition committed suicide; the third expedition died in a hail of gunfire as its members turned on one another; the members of the eleventh expedition returned as shadows of their former selves, and within months of their return, all had died of aggressive cancer.

Story goes nowhere. Many issues within
Revisado: 04-08-23
Starts off well. Creepy and mysterious setting. But no questions are ever answered. there is no emotional connection to any characters. Flaws in writing style become apparent with time. Ending has 0 payoff. Would not recommend.

succint for a reason

dont be put off by its length. its brevity is its power. overexplanation can kill spiritual growth and lessons. yogani is a master at avoiding overexplanation. trust him. you'll be glad you did.

I could not bring myself to finish this book. I don't mind unchallenging, entertainment reads...but this was just laughably bad.

Bland, unengaging. Least favorite RW novel
Revisado: 04-14-22
I've read all of RW novels and found this one to be boring and unengaging. Characters are one dimensional. Full of forced and cringey girl power moments that feel out of sorts with the intensity and unease you ought to feel in a novel like this. Read any of her other works.

Historia
Anna Fox lives alone - a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times...and spying on her neighbors. Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, mother, their teenaged son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn't, her world begins to crumble. And its shocking secrets are laid bare.

Overall pretty good.
Revisado: 12-11-20
Great performance. a little breathy and dramatic, but it. suited the character.
story wise, pretty good plot idea, but the writing takes a real dive at the end. Extremely trope-ridden and cheesy. but up to that point it was entertaining. would recommend overall for entertainment. nothing too deep here.
