imanisun 's review for:
I have no real right to review this, since I did not complete it. But...but
Okay I did read a good portion so that's why I feel I have a right to rate this. Note, however, that I did not read this in its entirety and so if anyone reads this review, take it with a grain of salt (I've never understood this saying but whatever).
I liked this. As an introvert, I thought it was cool that someone wrote that a little mouse like myself could actually maybe Possibly make a difference in the world. Because as all introverts know, it gets a bit tiring going up against all those darn extroverts all the time.
This read like a documentary. The narrator would take the reader with her to a church or Harvard and would speak about what she witnessed there. At first, this was cute to me. I mean, I don't read many nonfiction books but this seemed innovative. However, I began to really just yearn for a documentary and not a book because some of her long descriptions became tedious.
And while I enjoyed all the info she gave about why it's okay to be an introvert, much of the date seemed redundant or irrelevant. It was just like info that you tell people in casual conversation that doesn't really prove a point. "Hey did you know that introverts actually react to stimuli more visibly than extroverts?"
You know, that's cute and all but...well maybe it didn't mean much to me because I didn't finish and perhaps it would have been tied together if I had. Whatever.
By the time I had stopped reading, I was beginning to think, that while the author thinks that it's cool to be an introvert, we just really need to learn how not to be. We need to overcome it. What I got from it was that, we somehow need to fake our personalities and then, be quiet somewhere else. Which is a realistic viewpoint. But does that not betray the supposed 'power' Cain says introverts have in the world?
It turned into a self-help book boo.
I don't know if I'll finish this. Maybe one day, when I'm like, old and I'm really into nonfiction self help books and I've finished all my sagas and trilogies. Ugh. This is a bad review. But I digress.
