I feel much more comfortable about my own body now. I didn't realize how much of an impact self-esteem is affected by how we feel about our bodies until I read Elisabeth's book and found more confidence within myself from it. Great book to read.

I love bOObs. The author clearly cares about her readers and fellow boob-owners. This is not an intimidating "perkier than thou" makeover guide, nor a scary "watch out for the time bombs on your chest" cautionary tale, but a lovely, comprehensive, engagingly written book that celebrates the beauty, individuality, functionality, and wonder of women's breasts. I heartily recommend it. (I plan on getting a few copies as gifts for young family members, and wish I'd known all of this back then.)

Every teenage girl should read this book. I don't find this book too informative, but I agree it's a light read and enjoy reading the anecdotes from other women of different sizes and ages. The bra-fitting chapter is useful, I learned new way to measure my girls.

A wonderfully written book that with content that NEEDED to be said. Elisabeth has done a terrific job, and more people, both men and women need to read this book to better educate themselves!

I was just glancing at book's and saw this and thought it would be interesting. I really did enjoy it. Very informative for ladies of any age. Every girl should read this book. I hope to see more work from the author.

I gave this book to my 16 year-old niece and she and her girlfriends really enjoyed it and learned a lot too. Now they want to have a bra fitting party! Breast health is foremost in this book and it's filled with tips and gossip and trivia that make it fun reading. Great gift.

Elisabeth Squires fearless, witty and informative take on our relationship with our breasts is a breath of fresh air in the discussion about women's breasts. Neither prurient, nor prudish, this book is funny, yet dignified, witty and poignant----filled with valuable information and hysterical anecdotes. Now we'll know how to handle everything from getting our first bra to breast reconstruction---and we'll be proud to "hoist 'em high" while taking our "girls" along with us on life's journey. Great fun read filled with serious, necessary information.

This book is a great boob overview. It's chock full of information but it's not dry or boring. Elisabeth's playful and sassy approach makes "bOObs" a fun and easy read. She's constantly making boob puns which kept me smiling as I learned some new things about my boobs. One of my favorite things about this boob book is the collection of quotes she's got sprinkled throughout. She interviewed real, everyday, average women and shared their insights and anecdotes. I could relate to so many of them!

Even if you think you already know everything you need to know about boobs, buy this book. I guarantee you'll learn something new and have a good laugh along the way.

This hip, little book is packed with helpful information about breasts presented in a smart and playful way. Important medical and health facts you "need to know" are blended with what you "want" to know: real women's stories about their breasts. When I was a teen and started to have questions about my breasts, I could've used this book. Now, as an adult, I still wonder about things related to them, like bra sizes, mammograms, breast cancer, and hormone levels. This book is a "perfect fit" for any women facing breast cancer, contemplating reconstruction or augmentation or just trying to get a hand on her "girls" at any stage in life.

Finally, a book that pairs the information women need to know with a writer who tells it in ways we understand & appreciate. Ms. Squires' is a fresh, fun & funny voice of one who's done her homework & walked miles in her bra as well. I'm giving a copy to all my girlfriends. Who wouldn't want the gift of a guided tour through their most magnificent mammaries?
