Great book

The book was great and the reader starts out great, nice pace. Until chapter1, then she slows to a very slow pace. I have an I pod, so I put the speed on fast. Since I "read" while driving I do not want to fall asleep. At the fast speed I could understand her and stay awake. I recommend the book to all women. Yes I am male. It helped me too. I saw the authors at the College of Notre Dame of MD. They were great. Read chapter 5 GUILT , they do a great job!!!

Any additional comments?

Great tips, thoughtfully written, easy listen.

I really wanted to LOVE LOVE it.

What made the experience of listening to Womenomics the most enjoyable?

Overall; a decent/good "read". The first time I listened to this book, I LOVED IT. However, on listen #2, I found it to be quite unsubstantial and irrelevant on several levels. The book is filled of what I consider opinions and not actual facts (although "factual evidence" is mentioned)...I guess I was just hoping for more.

Would you be willing to try another book from Claire Shipman and Katty Kay ? Why or why not?

No; I didn't like her style.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

NO.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

This is not a date movie.
