review 1: Oh my goodness well. This was on kindle special earlier in the week so I thought I'd see what all the fuss was about. I've read some bits of the blog and was curious. The basic message is great - slow down, get off your smartphone, life's too short, pay real attention to your kids etc. However, I am not into "divine signs", and Stafford is clearly nuts about God, which just really turns me off. Personal impulse to recoil from bible verses and religious zeal aside, I must also say that while small doses of the flowery, sentimental, sugar-coated prose / poetry via blog posts are manageable, a whole book of same was just waaaaaaaay, waaaay too much. It was kind of like reading a load of her blog posts one after another, indeed I recognised some of the text, clearly just l... moreifted from the blog.As an aside, I'm also horrified that anyone would need reminders not to text / email while driving!With the best will in the world I couldn't warm to this woman. But as she's just got her third book deal, clearly others don't agree :)
review 2: This book brought me to tears in every chapter. Gives the reader good insight in what technology, a busy schedule, and even ones view of themselves is doing to keep up from spending time with our kids. As a parent I desire to improve my relationship with my children so this book really hit home for me. I no longer want to be a technology driven mom and look forward to spending more time with my kids. less
