Book Reviews of When You Need a Lift: But Don't Want to Eat Chocolate, Pay a Shrink, or Drink a Bottle of Gin
Book Review: Waste of time and money
Summary: 1 Stars
What a disappointment. I wasn't expecting great things, maybe just a few useful tidbits. It's so bad it's almost funny. Some of the suggestions included a bizarre one from Pat Boone. He says he only wants to be with his wife when he is feeling down--clearly stating he wants no one else around. Jeez, I hope he doesn't outlive his wife or he'll be in trouble. He then states that he (and wife, of course)goes to his condo in Panama. Oh, that's useful information for the masses or maybe this was just for the elite who have condos to go off to.
In another one the contributor says he had an epiphany of sorts during which he realized dead people would love to trade places and live his depressing life. He actually used the words "rotting in their graves." Thanks for that uplifting image along with the idea that all dead people spend eternity wishing to be alive.
Other new and exciting ideas: eat a tuna sandwich, go swim at your athletic club, pet a cat, or clean your house. Each bit of advice contains a biography of the contributor as long as (if not longer) than the advice they provide.
To make matters worse I was listening to the audio version. Both readers appear to have attended the Casey Kasem (sp?) School of Smarmy Public Speaking. If Ms. Raudman had recorded the entire book, I might have used this when experiencing insomnia. She has one of those voices that lulls you off to sleep.
Okay, I must admit that I did not finish listening to the book. I tried. I really did. I almost completed the first of the three CDs. Alas, it is that bad. I just could not take any more. Don't waste your money or time. And, unless you are really angry at someone, do not give this as a gift.
