Julie S. (JavaMonster) - reviewed on 2/22/2009 + 3 more book reviews

I bought this book thinking it would have something new to say about taking care of yourself, and discovered that the audience for it is women in their retirement years (or approaching retirement). I'm a bit younger than that!

The men who wrote the book also assume that the women reading the book will be able to afford the suggestions within the book. One is a retired New York attorney, the other a male doctor with a good practice. And, as funny as Henry Lodge is, he misses the mark on what women actually need, and what is helpful.

Not sayin' that the information within it is useless--far from that--just take a close look at the bias of the writers. The first book in this series was written for men just like the writers of the book: white, with money, and privileged yet lazy.
