It is an interesting read. I enjoyed it, however it was a very slow read at times. It discusses a lot about religion and how they influence the world in many ways.
I was already aware of most of the issues presented in this book, but I liked the way the author expanded upon the issues, giving clear examples of each, and tying them all together as pieces of the whole of the fear society places on bodies. I think reading this book has helped me realize why I view my own body the way I do, and I think that I can now work on changing my views for the better.
This book helped me open my eyes and mind to some things I had no clue about. It focuses on why we fear our own bodies, and why society makes us fear our bodies based on phobias that are really just people being prejudice.
I enjoyed reading real life experiences. It helped you understand the points the author was trying to get across. It made me feel sad, but I also felt relatable.
There were also parts of this book I didn’t agree with at all and did not enjoy reading it. I consider myself a very open minded person, but there were just some points I couldn’t get behind. That brought the rating down for me. This is my honest review.
