A review by eleana
Bodies by Susie Orbach
2.0
This book was a bit of a let down to be completely honest. I guess maybe this wasn't aimed for me though but rather was written for people with experience in psychoanalysis.
Either way a lot of the time this book was quite repetitive and kept coming back to the same points. The last chapter did help clear some things up but while I was reading this book a lot of the information did not really connect and it just read like angry rambling. Not to mention that chapters with less original ideas, like those on the effect of commercialism and the beauty industry and globalization as such, were given much more focus than other concepts like parent-child connections which were way more interesting. Can't say I really enjoyed this honestly. Was a bit too much effort to get through for such a small book.
However, I have to admit that the sentences did flow really well and felt very natural and at times the examples of people provided were very interesting. If I remember anything from this book it will probably be that.
