☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Elgin: The Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense
What a bore.
Of course, I couldn’t finish it. I gave it several tries, and each try reminded me what a mediocre book it is. The writing is bland and stale, and she doesn’t have nay original ideas. At the very least, she also can’t synthesize what she has already read, into her own discussion.
It seems as if the author took her experience of her own quarrels in her personal life, and made it appear as if that was the norm. Here and there, she sprinkles ideas stolen from other great books, such as one from Virgina Satyr’s, but the main aim of the author is to show that men are oh-so-evil and women are victims of ‘verbal judo’.
Disappointed that I had to waste money and time on this.
