A review by flybyreader
Life Is a 4-Letter Word: Laughing and Learning Through 40 Life Lessons (Humor Essays, Doctors & Medicine Humor, for Readers of the Family Cruci by David A. Levy
1.0
(I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for honest review.)
This book simply did not do it for me.
I am annoyed with it on multiple levels. I am not the kind of reader, who gives up on a book that easily and I usually see it through the end even if I know that it is killing me softly. And this is one of those books.
You have heard every single lesson in this book at least a thousand times before and I'm sorry to say that it's not the only disappointment.
I felt like I got caught up in a psychological booby trap, expecting something profound to happen but waiting in vain. The life lessons given in capital letters are not based on some rooted fundamentally life-changing experiences and felt shallow for a psychologist/therapist to give as an example.
What kind of a life lesson "When you don't know what to do, fake it til you make it" offers, I don't know. Or "Try hard but not too hard."
I am just pissed.
