melanieserenity's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

I really, really tried to finish this one, but it was just so longwinded that in the end I decided that life was too short.

I think every woman in her 20’s should read this book, big thank you to my best friend who gifted me this book in anticipation of graduate school and to build “a room of my own” :,)

4.5/5
hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

Il mondo a lei non diceva, come diceva a loro: "Scrivete, se volete; per me non fa differenza". Il mondo diceva sghignazzando: "Scrivere? A che serve che scriviate?"
informative inspiring lighthearted fast-paced
informative inspiring medium-paced

4.5

“Thus when I ask you to write more books I am urging you to do what will be for your good and for the good of the world at large.”


How do you rate a book like this? It’s a volume which is both immensely pleasurable to read (her sentences! her way of thought!) while also being paradigm shifting, and completely unique.

3.5 porque no me gustan los ensayos pero muy lindo y entretenido
