There's lots of good information in here, but I just kind of hate books that are so aggressively PINK and GIRLY when they are aimed at adult women. I think a book like this is way more visually appealing for teens, even though lots of the info is aimed at an older demographic (see the segments on pregnancy and menopause). It's very readable, and I like that the answers don't talk down to readers (for the most part) or hand down judgment along with information. But comparing this to [b:Body Drama|1225592|Body Drama|Nancy Amanda Redd|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266748759s/1225592.jpg|1214106]... I don't know. That's a book ostensibly aimed at teens, but by including things like photographs of real people and cutting out the GIRLY GIRLY GIRLY PINK AND OH YES GIRLY vibe I found it way more readable. There's also a lot of overlap in content, though obviously the more grown up aspects of What The Yuck aren't available.

I'm having trouble pinpointing my issue with this book. I think that a less stodgy format, making things light and easy to relate with, is great in body books. Maybe I just don't like the infantile attitude that seems inherent in the title, color scheme, and cartoony cover. It's not a book I'd want to be seen reading in public, for example. So. Yes. It's a handy book, and if you aren't put off by the girlishness of a book aimed at adult women, then it's probably pretty useful!… (plus d'informations)

I bought this book because it was popular and certainly had an interesting title. I thought there might be some information in it that would be helpful and there was. At times it's humorous and entertaining as well.

This book is easy to read with answers to questions regarding womens' health and bodies. I don't have a problem asking doctors questions and now I won't have to because it seems as though everything I would need to ask is answered here. This is a book to keep and use as a future reference.… (plus d'informations)
