Expecting Adam: A True Story of Birth, Rebirth, and Everyday Magic by Martha N. Beck

1.0

Easily the worst book I have ever read. A disastrous culmination of platitude-enriched diary-writing, delusional opinions on medicine and life, and an altogether entitled, disconnected perspective on how to life live. If I had not been forced to read it, I would not have continued past the first five pages - and I sincerely hoped it would get better, but it did not. I'm not sure if I'm more annoyed that this woman hasn't been screened for a mental illness or that she prescribes fatally dangerous medical advice, the worst of which was praying to non-existent angels to cure her placenta previa during severe hemorrhage, and then saying how it worked.
