review 1: 65 pages in and I'm just not connecting with it. I think it has to do more with how the book is written than the subject matter itself. Or the fact that my library ended up with the large-print version and the words just scream at me from the page. I can't hold it far enough away to feel comfortable, and for some reason I can't focus. I might try it again someday, but I suspect I don't care enough about her philosophical perspective. I wanted more of the journal and her spiritual experiences and how she made sense of them, and most of the book wasn't about that as promised.
review 2: I wanted to like this a lot more than I did. It was not a good book to listen to, as nearly every line was pithy and rich with relevance and brilliant intelligence. I found m... moreyself rewinding over and over and OVER, and still, after the 5th time, I heard something I'd missed before. I suppose, as a fellow atheist, I was also hoping for a neatly tied-up conclusion to her quest, but alas, she left me with the same questions I've always had, and still do have. As David says below: "Her book is a spiritual journey with no answers." I wanted some answers.It's definitely worth a read for all Barbara Ehrenreich lovers, though I don't think it's her best. less
