I started and stopped this book a few times. It was an interesting way to write it - the writer writes as if she has conscious thought from the time of conception...but I just couldn't get into it...

I couldn't get into it ... but didn't try very hard. If a book doesn't grab me in the first few pages I move on....

I never got to use this book. I received it as a gift over five years ago and then got pregnant and didn't want to risk using the lye called for. It is a beautiful book with great recipes and instructions....

Very interesting and eye-opening. I just haven't used the recipes in a long time...

I really enjoyed this book. The author really explores the issues of relationships and how the main character handles a tragic event in her own relationship. I liked her style of writing. I felt for Carrie and her struggle between doing what might be noble or being true to herself.

The title says it all...this is a funny look at toddlers...I was expecting more helpful information, though it is good for a laugh or two...

I absolutely LOVED this book. It was an amazing story of an unbearably sad childhood - but such an inspiring story. I kept having to remind myself that someone actually lived this life. It reads like a novel.

I really enjoyed this book. I wasn't sure where it was going at first, but once I got into it - I couldn't stop reading it...

I really liked this book. I have enjoyed the other books I have read by her. This one was a bit deeper. Still very fun and "laugh-out-loud" funny at times.

I read parts of this book. I do believe I have sugar sensitivity but I didn't really try the books' plan....

I enjoyed this book for the most part. It kept my interest and had some twists and turns, though my book club and I thought there were some holes in logic and story.

This book has attitude - which could be great. But the recommendations about how to become a "skinny bitch" are very hard-core. They advocate complete veganism (not eating ANY animal products) and eliminating all refined sugar and all artificial sweetner. And as if that wasn't enough- no coffee either! I actually went off of sugar at one point for 5 years, and stopped eating red meat at one time. But this is pretty extreme to think about doing all of what they suggest at once. I just think it might be setting someone up to fail. With all of that said they do offer factual information about nutrition etc. in a no-holds barred style.

I mostly enjoyed this book; the topic facinates me. It amazes me how the author can write books on such vastly different subjects. I liked midwives better - but this is good too...

A short, bittersweet story...
