review 1: I have always loved lists and I remember always enjoying the Glamour magazine list when I was working @ Ernst & Young. I'd buy this magazine and then read it while I ate my lunch in the extremely busy and loud foodcourt. My favourite list was the one where they suggested celebrating the new year by being very prepared for the year ahead, stocking up on toilet paper and laundry detergent, and then coming home and knowing that you hadn't made the most glamorous (funny) purchases but you'd have the satisfaction of knowing you were prepared for the year ahead. I still feel that way when I look at a well-stocked linen closet or pantry, so I felt like I had to give this book a read. I'm rating it pretty low because I didn't find it very inspiring, even thought it is meant to... more be, and I am cautious of any list that says you will feel satisfied or complete when you have "something ridiculously expensive that you bought for yourself, just because you deserve it". I think we should be able to figure that out without a list in a book. Still it was entertaining and that is a nice thing on a dark Friday night when everyone else is out of the house... fun to look back on Glamour magazines gone by.
review 2: I love lists, so this book was great for me. I hope to complete this list by the time I'm 30, or close after turning 30. I've got about a year and a half left, so I think I can do it. My only issue with this list is there were a couple of items that one could possibly not complete because it has to do with your past (having a past juicy enough to tell in your old age, for example). You can't change your past, so if you didn't do/have those experiences, then you're screwed I guess. I did enjoy the book, it was a fast and easy read. Getting everything checked off the list will be much harder! less
