MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, June 6, 2003
This review is from: Everything You Need to Know About Being a Woman Can Be Learned in the Garden (Paperback)
A witty, laugh out loud, all around enjoyable book. These are but a few words, that I can use to describe Ms. Fish's book, Everything You Need To Know About Being A Woman Can Be Learned in the Garden.
Her usage of the comparison between natures creatures and humans is exceptional. Not only did I truly see it, but learned a considerable amount about our friends. I will not look at them the same.
Ms Fish uses humor to bring across many important issues facing women today. Each and every story, as told by the women of the book, sparked within me a deep emotion. I laughed with them, I cried with them, I became one with their anger, as their words took on the visions of situations women must face. Some had victory, some had defeat, but through this, Ms. Fish's book, produces a joining of the spirit of women everywhere.
Cindy will forever be grafted in my mind. I think we all have a Cindy in our lives. I saw my Cindy's face, as I read Ms. Fish's Cindy's words, and chuckled. She was the delight of the book, as her personality flashed at you from the pages. It was with great anticipation that I waited to see what Cindy was going to say or do at the next discussion session. Her final act at the end of the book, was not something I was prepared for.
If there is any down side to this book, it would be that the read was over too quickly. I look forward to another book in the future with more wisdom from my garden sisters, and especially from Cindy.
This is a must read for all women, and men if you dare!
