review 1: This book was cute. I really enjoy books that highlight a person's quest to find guidance or faith or meaning in the world around them, because everyone's is different. I really wish that she had gone into more depth in the spiritual side of her story, but I couldn't help but feel happy when she finally was at peace with herself and she definitely made me chuckle. A good, quick, enjoyable read.
review 2: Really wonderful book. This lady had a fairly rare autoimmune disease, difficult to diagnose and treat. It showed how western medicine is sadly lacking in treating many types of illnesses,and how western doctors have blinders on as to any beneficial role eastern medicine, alternative health practices and spirituality can play in healing. The author documents... more her journey , sometimes out of desperation, into finding solutions and treatments for her health with alternative methods, and how this caused her to grow spiritually. She has a wicked sense of humor and is also keenly intelligent. Her spiritual breakthrough comes from the unlikely combination of Madonna and a brand of mystical Orthodox Judaism. Very enlightening, interesting and entertaining. less
