5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining!, July 9 2004

By

Sleep Deprived Mom of Twins (Morgan Hill, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Infertility Sucks! (Paperback)

Thanks to other reviewers, I went into this book very aware that it was one woman's humorous approach to infertility. I found it very entertaining, but then again, I did expect (and was therefore prepared for) the sarcasm. As it was intended for infertile readers only (or mostly) I understood the emotion behind it and thought it was all in fun. [I've been trying for **nine years** to get pg; sometimes it's human to get a little frustrated and grumpy about it.] The illustrations at the beginning of each chapter are funny too. The book has zingers but I think they are meant for those who deserve them (like people who tell infertile women/couples to relax). I've read many angrier and meaner blogs on the Internet. Okay, it has a scarcastic tone sometimes, but overall I thought it had a positive spin on coping with infertility. I plan to buy another copy for my girlfriend, or give her mine!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! A refreshingly honest look at infertility!, Mar 11 2004

By

Jolene McMann (Rochester, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Infertility Sucks! (Paperback)

Very funny, brutally honest, on the mark and well written, Barna gave the world a gift when she wrote this book! Suffering from infertility myself, it changed my view from feeling victimized to feeling empowered. Exactly what I needed, it gave me the ammunition to go out in the world where it seems everyone but myself is pregnant. I was so sick of reading sappy, sad books,and I was tired of feeling sorry for myself,Barna's view on infertility was so refreshing, I immediently felt uplifted and ready for whatever life threw at me. A must have!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Voice of Relevance & Reason Well-Seasoned with Wit, Mar 6 2004

By

D. Verde (Virginia USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Infertility Sucks! (Paperback)

Written with the advantage of firsthand experience; spiced with candor and creative thought; a blessing for those weary of the usual trite and untrue, and quite ready for a full frontal view of a complex matter.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Sarcastic
I'm not sure I was emotionally ready for a book that takes such a harsh and sarcastic view of infertility. Read more
