The book club kit for Untamed by Glennon Doyle was very helpful. The questions were in depth which is something I really liked. Usually with book club questions it’s more of what did I like/not like. I thought the question regarding sensitivity was great as some could perceive it was inconvenient and others as something powerful and natural as you’re showing emotion.

I honestly wasn't a fan of this book, so I was curious to see if this book club kit would help me see at least a few parts in a different light. This book club kit had a few good questions to it! I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it, but I think it'd do well attached to the ending of the book. This wasn't amazing but it also wasn't bad.

This book club kit was well thought out and put together. It not only included thoughtful questions broken up by sections of the book, but also some suggestions for other activities. The font was rather small, though, so it felt like a wall of text at times.

A Courageous Journey of Self-Discovery and Empowerment

Rating: 3.5 stars

Glennon Doyle's "Untamed" is a raw and introspective memoir that invites readers to join her on a fearless journey of self-discovery and empowerment. This book offers a compelling narrative that will resonate with book club members seeking to explore themes of authenticity, personal growth, and breaking free from societal expectations.

One of the standout aspects of "Untamed" is Doyle's candid and unapologetic writing style. She lays bare her struggles, vulnerabilities, and triumphs, allowing readers to connect with her on a deeply personal level. Through her intimate storytelling, Doyle challenges traditional notions of femininity, marriage, and motherhood, encouraging readers to question societal norms and find the courage to embrace their true selves.

The book's central theme revolves around the idea of untaming oneself from the expectations imposed by others. Doyle shares her own experiences of unlearning societal conditioning and rediscovering her inner voice. Her journey serves as an inspiration for readers to reflect on their own lives and consider how they might break free from the constraints that hold them back.

"Untamed" is not just a memoir but also a call to action. Doyle's passionate advocacy for social justice, gender equality, and environmental awareness adds an important layer to the narrative. These themes provide ample material for book club discussions and can inspire readers to take meaningful action in their own lives and communities.

While the book's message is powerful, some readers might find certain sections overly repetitive. The author revisits similar themes and anecdotes throughout the book, which can make the pacing feel slightly uneven. However, the emotional depth and resonance of Doyle's words ultimately compensate for this minor flaw.

Doyle's storytelling is both captivating and relatable. Her vulnerability and authenticity create a strong connection with readers, inviting them to embrace their own imperfections and celebrate their unique journeys. Moreover, the book's conversational tone and accessible language make it an engaging read for book club members of various backgrounds and interests.

"Untamed" is a thought-provoking memoir that offers a roadmap for personal transformation and empowerment. Glennon Doyle's fearless honesty and unwavering advocacy make this book a valuable addition to any book club's reading list. Despite occasional repetition, the power of her storytelling and the book's universal themes of self-discovery and authenticity will leave readers inspired to untame themselves and pursue a life of personal fulfillment.

Untamed is so good! "This is how you find yourself." Those are such powerful words. I highly recommend reading the book and also using this book club kit. It is so useful to already have discussion questions already made for a book club. It is very much appreciated.

There are a lot of well thought out questions in this book guide. This is a must buy for fans of the book that love discussion questions!

I ate this book up. She gave so much of her authentic self when writing this book. I went into this knowing nothing about Glennon and yet I feel like I get her now. I really enjoyed the book club kit. It asked a lot of introspective questions instead of just comprehension. There are also a good amount of questions and sections to discuss if you were actually using this at a book club.

Books like Untamed benefit a lot from discussion in Book clubs - I am in India, so we have fewer of those here, and the book can certainly feel whitewashed, so it is good to have a guide like this as a jumping point for our discussions.

Thank you, Penguin Random House Library Resources, Glennon Doyle, and Netgalley for an ARC of this book.

This book is a Book club resource to use with the book Untamed. The questions and topic points in this book are insightful and helpful. It brings each point to focus for a better understanding.

I really enjoyed this book club kit. It is much more comprehensive and interactive than normal book club discussion questions. It provides not only great group discussion questions, but also many soul-searching individual ones. It also includes several "hands-on" exercises for greater in-depth exploration of the different core ideas of Untamed. I also really liked that it is quite different from the journal version of the book.

2.5/5

This is honestly the worst book club kit I have reviewed from Netgalley. There is nothing special to it, There are questions and a way for her to advertise her nonprofit. Not for me.

This is such a fun, engaging book club kit! I love reading interviews with authors, and hearing about what inspired them to write their novel. The included discussion questions are perfect for encouraging deeper exploration of the book's characters and themes, the kit is easily printable/accessible and I loved how Netgalley began including on their sites. Will definitely use in the near future with my very own book club.

This is the most colorful book club kit I have ever read. And even better is the design in which is it is presented. If you ever want a resource to help steer your discussions on Untamed, I heartily suggest this one.

My Book Club read "Untamed" in December 2020 and had such a very introspective discussion about the book. That said, I think our group would have greatly benefited from the thoughtful questions and other resources in this Reader's Guide - highly recommend, especially for Book Clubs where members may not all know each other super well as these will help to break the ice and encourage introspective, open discussion.

Book Club Kit: Untamed by Glennon Doyle was a thorough exploration of the memoir with interesting questions and discussion prompts. I would recommend this kit to anyone reading Untamed with a group.

I have not had the chance to look at many other book kits but I really appreciate the way this one separated the questions by the sections of the book. That's really helpful, especially if the book club plans to meet at each section rather than once after completing the book! I also love how there were activities included in addition to the questions. It makes for a more engaging and fun club meeting involving more than just a conversation which can be difficult at times to keep from going stale. I really like this approach to the book club!

I read Glennon Doyle's bestseller Untamed when it first came out, as it was one of the choices for the women's book club my colleagues and I were a part of during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. I wish we had this book club kit at that time! It is full of carefully chosen questions and though-provoking material for each chapter of the book, urging introspection and soul-searching and helping readers connect on a deeper level with Glennon's journey.

The Book Club Kit for UNTAMED by Glennon Doyle would make a fantastic addition to any reader’s experience of the book. The questions included will draw you into deeper reflection of what the book describes & proposes. The kit would greatly help any bookclub that is using the book for their meeting. Full of multiple questions for each section of the book, this guide will help transform your bookclub meeting. I highly recommend it be used once you’ve read the book.

Thank you to NetGalley for the complimentary copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

This was a cute book kit. I was expecting a bit more. However, I think this information was helpful for a person that is reading it themselves and or in a group.

Based on the other reading guides/book club kits I’ve seen on here, I expected a little more. The extra info/discussion questions are always helpful, but I wish there was an activity or something else relevant to the book!
